MUNICH, Germany, 16 November, 2018 – Matica Technologies AG announced its attendance at Trustech 2018, the largest global event for trust-based technologies. Matica will launch the new S3300e, which instantly embosses pre-printed cards at branch level. Plus, the company will showcase extraordinary laser technology – the market’s *only* industrial solution, the S5200LX, for card engraving in low volume issuance and special applications.

Matica will also present their comprehensive portfolio of financial instant issuance and secure ID card issuance at booth C-050 Riviera Rotunda, 27 – 29 November, The Palais des Festivals, Cannes.

Matica’s range of financial card issuance products is enhanced by the demonstration of Matica’s updated financial desktop embosser, the S3300e. Matica has listened to the changing demands of the banking sector and created a desktop embosser system, which is comparable to a mid or high-volume issuance embosser. Continuing to ensure a secure environment has remained a key driver behind the S3300e’s engineering.

Visitors to Trustech will also see Matica’s S5200LX desktop laser engraver. It will prompt significant interest considering the growing trend in card engraving for special applications with laser technology.

And what sort of special applications can the S5200LX issue?

  • Financial card programs with display and chip cards with embossing limitations
  • Metal-coated and composite PVC/metal cards for prestige financial schemes
  • Back office issuance or low volume ID cards
  • Driving licenses or car registration documents
  • Special series of SIM cards
  • Decentralized issuance debit or credit cards

Matica’s Global Sales Director, Luca Picardi is a guest speaker during TRUSTECH 2018, where he will first look at ‘innovation’ with reference to laser personalization for high security ID and financial cards, (29 November at 11:30 / Innovation Stage). And in his second talk, Luca will look at ‘new industry insights’, specifically: technology and legislation, exploring why the payment industry in emerging markets is experiencing a boom, and why central issuance solutions can unlock opportunities in those countries and markets, (28 November at 16:20 / Industry Insights Stage).

“Providing a thoughtfully produced, comprehensive service with an emphasis on changing security needs as the industries also change is integral to our design and engineering,” said Sandro Camilleri, CEO, Matica Technologies.

“Our long established relationships with partners, customers and the industries at large allow us an inside track into what needs to be developed to help them deliver on their challenges. Couple that with some of the best engineers in the world, and it’s perhaps no surprise that Matica remains in the top tier of experts in the secure card arena.”
