Staying Ahead of the Future
To succeed in a globalized economy, businesses

Protected from Wind and Weather
Banknotes are exposed to a wide range of environmental
influences: moisture, dryness and extreme temperatures
wear on them. New substrates protect them from these
conditions.
TECHNOLOGY
On the Same Wavelength
Industry and the service sector have recognized the
possibilities of wireless data transfer based on Near
Field Communication (NFC). G&D offers sophisticated
security technology designed for such applications.

Commercial banks can now recirculate them on their
own—provided they meet EU quality criteria.
EUROPEAN CITIZEN CARD
Identity Card without Borders
The European Citizen Card (ECC) not only
replaces identity cards and passports. The chip card
solution also makes it possible to accurately trace and
verify the identity of users on the Internet.
