Dublin & Waterford, January 2025

Through GS1 Ireland’s Solution Partner Programme both companies will work together to support organisations in Ireland on their digital transformation journey towards increased process efficiency and automation, in tandem with meeting current and emerging regulatory requirements across multiple sectors.

“Becoming a GS1 Ireland Gold Partner is a meaningful milestone for Codico Distributors, reflecting our long-standing dedication to supporting Irish manufacturers in many industries, including the healthcare, retail, and grocery sectors, with dependable, high-quality coding, marking, labelling, digital printing, and automation solutions. These sectors require seamless integration of accurate coding and robust automation to meet the demands of compliance and production standards,” commented Noel Cooney, Group Sales Director, Codico Distributors.

“Codico Distributors is aware of the increasing regulatory pressures facing manufacturers and is dedicated to aligning with GS1 Ireland’s standards to ensure compliance, traceability, and production adaptability. By providing advanced automation and coding technologies, Codico Distributors empowers Irish manufacturers to improve their productivity, adapt to new regulations, and maintain a competitive edge. We are excited to bring our decades of expertise to this partnership, helping manufacturers meet both current demands and future industry requirements with confidence,” added Cooney.

Mike Byrne, CEO of GS1 Ireland and member of the GS1 Global Management Board commented, “We are delighted to welcome Codico Distributors as a GS1 Ireland Gold Partner. Codico brings extensive expertise in integrating GS1 standards into coding and printing processes at the critical early stage of a product’s journey – when GS1 barcodes are first applied to packaging. This expertise will be instrumental in supporting Irish manufacturers during their transition to GS1-enabled QR codes, particularly in the retail sector.

Codico Distributor’s significant experience in 2D barcodes and serialisation within the Healthcare industry provides a strong foundation for this partnership. The accurate printing of GS1-compliant barcodes is a pivotal step in unlocking their full potential, delivering benefits such as enhanced traceability, regulatory compliance, improved consumer engagement, and increased operational efficiency”.
