IDTech Alliance - a strategic alliance

At the beginning of the year, we founded the IDTech Alliance together with the mechanical engineering companies Lauffer and Tiepner. Our aim is to pool expertise, exploit synergies and further strengthen our competitiveness in the market.

One significant success is the expansion of our product portfolio. The IDTech Alliance now covers almost the entire production chain:

  • Inlay production with the ruhlamat WCE systems

  • Punching and collating with Tiepner products

  • Laminating with the laminators from Lauffer

  • Personalization with ruhlamat personalization machines

This comprehensive product range gives us a strong market position and enables us to offer our customers tailor-made complete solutions.

Another highlight was the presentation of the IDTech Alliance at Trustech in Paris in December. The joint trade fair appearance attracted a great deal of interest, led to new inquiries and valuable customer contacts and demonstrated the benefits of close cooperation.
