Main customers today are blue chip companies, the building trade, electrical trade, engineering trade and local authorities buying a whole range of products such as office signs, industrial labels, memorial boards and plaques as well as the firm's traditional rubber stamps.

According to Managing Director Geoff Hewitt, the firm's main selling points are 'quality, fair prices, the personal relationship we have with customers and the fact that no job is to large or small.' The firm's mission statement is 'quality, quality, quality' an aspiration likely to be consistently met by the business' technical superiority, a lead maintained by keeping both abreast of the times and ahead of competition with the latest machinery and innovative staff.

Whilst still retaining the old, skilled manual way of engraving, new computerised engraving systems allows the Manchester Rubber Stamp Co or 'MRS' to achieve a more accurate standard of work than the old method. MRS however continues to offer both services.
