Zebra Technologies a provider in specialty printing and automatic identification solutions, recently announced that Amer Sports selected Zebra’s EPC Gen 2-standard labeling system for its RFID compliance labeling project for shipments of its Wilson Sporting Goods brand. Zebra’s best-of-breed RFID printer/encoders help manufacturers and distributors comply with UHF Gen 2 mandates while providing superior track and trace capabilities for total asset visibility throughout the supply chain.

When Wilson Sporting Goods, the world's leading manufacturer of ball sports equipment, needed to implement an RFID compliance system, Ed Matthews, Director of Information Technology for Wilson turned to Zebra Technologies, a proven solution provider. “I had worked with Zebra before and knew their equipment was very reliable,” said Matthews. “So, we moved right past that concern and got down to the project details.”
