"You
can't buy competence and experience,
you have to learn it."
For
manufacturers like us, the living market of card
technology is a constant challenge. In the
beginning customer projects were our main
objective. We acquire a lot of know-how from
these projects and the first line of soft- and
hardware products was manufactured. Some of them
you'll find in our catalog. Our products are
completely designed, developed and produced in
Germany.
A
full line of software products completes our
product line. Future markets will be dominated by
the smart card. As an active member of the
standardization committeee for chip cards in NI
17.4 of ISO7816 we played a decisive role in this
development. Today we develop operating systems
and terminals for smart cards to meet future
needs.
