The Pica Marker is a pioneering name for professional marking in the trade. Installer spoke to Pica to find out more about the technology:
As the inventor of the deep-hole marker, Pica, the family-owned company from Upper Franconia, has shaped an entire product category and set new standards in more than 20 years.
Pica Marker stands for precision, innovative strength and solutions that make everyday work on construction sites and in workshops noticeably easier. The fact that the brand is now known far beyond Germany and has over 100,000 followers on Instagram shows how firmly anchored it is in modern craftsmanship.
Its success is based on products that are designed from the perspective – for professionals who have to rely on every detail. At the heart of this success story is the Pica Dry – a product that has completely redefined the market. Its strength lies in its ability to solve several construction site problems at once with a single tool. The Pica Dry marks reliably on almost all surfaces, whether dry or wet, smooth or rough, dusty or rusty. In addition, there are features that really count in professional use: Power-Lock for a strong lead seat, integrated sharpener, protection against dust and moisture, one-handed operation and a versatile refill system with different refills for a wide variety of applications. In this way, a marker has not become a compromise, but a professional marking system – robust, flexible and uncompromisingly practical.
Pica Marker impressively shows that true pioneering spirit does not remain in what has been achieved, but continues to develop consistently. The new products in 2026 are a strong signal of this. Pica Powder takes marking to a new level: Contactless marking through drill holes up to 250 mm deep, with fluorescent chalk powder, refillable, up to 1,500 applications per filling and with a 360° swivel arm even for hard-to-reach places. This is not only innovative, but also a real productivity advantage for many tradespeople.
With the new Pica Master Belt, Pica Marker is consistently taking the topic of professionalism further: away from the individual product and towards a functioning overall system on the body. The robust belt solution creates order, speed and direct access to the most important markers for daily use. At the same time, the new Pica Scriber Block complements the portfolio with a highly relevant precision tool for removal. Eight distance settings between 9 and 25 mm, compatible with Pica Dry and Pica Fine Dry, make it the well thought-out solution for exact parallel markings in flooring, drywall construction and carpentry work.
This is precisely where Pica Marker’s particular strength lies: the brand does not think in terms of products, but in applications. It observes how craftsmen work, where time is lost, where precision is lacking and where tools need to be improved. This results in solutions that not only look good, but also convince in use. Pica Marker is therefore not a trend, but a fixed point of reference in professional marking – with a strong history, a clear present and a future that is already visible.
