In 1995, Thomas GARCIA was looking for an innovative market and so he launched into the manufacture, marketing and distribution of name tags with a very powerful magnet as a fixing system that no one was selling. These products were intended for companies whose staff is receiving public and had to be identified (hotels, restaurants, car dealerships, pharmacies, etc.) – This activity stopped following Covid in early 2021.
In 2007, Thomas, an inventor at heart, was looking for a new idea. Coming across a German article highlighting the large number of work accidents related to the handling of road signs, he had the idea:
“I am going to invent a magnetic tool to avoid these accidents!”.
After many prototypes, in 2012, a successful tool came out: the LIFTPLAQ and its super powerful magnet.
