Company name
The firm's present-day name - Trodat - comes from a product designation. During the years 1947 and 1948, the first plastic date stamp with the Trodat name was produced. Trodat is a juxtaposition of the syllables TRO and DAT. "TRO" stands for Trolitul - a plastic previously used for stamp manufacture. "DAT" is the abbreviation for date stamp. After re-christening in the late 1960s, Trodat became the official company name.
