Printcolor announces its membership of the ICMA today. By this step, the company emphasises its focus on card systems in the security division.
The International Card Manufacturers Association (ICMA) serves the worldwide card industry. Nowadays billions of cards are in use throughout the world. As the complexity of card manufacturing and applications has increased, so have the topics such as standards, quality, security and environmental protection. There-fore, ICMA offers a forum for education, networking, idea-sharing, and collaboration for all its members. The 230 members of the non-profit association are from all fields of the card industry. Moreover, ICMA hosts the yearly ICMA EXPO, a global conference and exhibition for the card industry.
Printcolor is a leading Swiss manufacturer of sophisticated security printing inks for secure documents and brand protection. The company offers innovative and custom-made solutions against counterfeiting and manipulation. In recent years the company has established itself successfully as a provider of solutions for national security documents and bank cards. These card products must meet the most stringent require-ments in terms of function and wear-resistance.
“We are looking forward to an intensive cooperation with ICMA," says Peter Paul, head of the security divi-sion at Printcolor. “Being an active member of this international organization will improve our understand-ing of the requirements and expectations of our customers within the different geographical markets. There-fore, we have the opportunity to further expand our services and our innovative printing inks for the card industry at the highest level.”
