A European company that supplies security ID cards and the print equipment used to create them, is significantly expanding its product and service range, after acquiring a German counterpart that specialises in access control systems for large-scale events. cards-x, which has bases in the UK and Germany, has acquired Adon Development, which is based in Ratingen near Düsseldorf and is one of the world’s most prominent suppliers of turnstiles, barriers, gates and electronic door systems. Its access control systems operate alongside an advanced online, browser-based event registration system that is fully customisable in terms of look and feel, enabling it to incorporate event branding and other features relevant to any event. It can also be tailored for individuals attending the event, offering everything from access to special zones through to food and drink credit in hospitality areas. The company’s products are available to lease or rent, serving clients including the Eurovision Song Contest, Ski World Cup Croatia, as well as global motor racing events. Adon Development’s Founder, Peter Mooshage, and its six-strong team will all remain with the business, which is being rebranded to cards-x Development. With offices in York and Düsseldorf, cards-x has quickly become one of Europe’s suppliers of security products, ID cards and Matica printers. In the last 12 months cards-x’s team has grown from six people to a team of eight at Malton near York with a further 20 people in Germany, following this latest acquisition. cards-x Chief Operating Officer, Andy Reeves, stated “cards-x is now at the forefront of the market in terms of security ID cards and the print equipment used to create them, and this latest acquisition is a key part of our ambition to become much more than a distributor and manufacturer.” Norman Kämmerling, CEO at cards-x, added “Adon Development is a world leader in access control systems with an innovative product range that is supported by an advanced online system that can provide an array of bespoke services to ensure sports fans, music lovers, exhibition attendees, and anyone else visiting an event, have an outstanding experience. “It’s very exciting to be able to incorporate these products and services into our offering and the acquisition will enable us to continue growing our client base throughout Europe and beyond.” This latest deal follows cards-x acquiring the world’s most eco-friendly manufacturer of ID card holders, Evohold at the end of 2020. Following the acquisition, ‘Made in Britain’ member, Evohold, relocated from Preston to Malton and the company now produces hundreds of thousands of card holders each week, which are exported to countries throughout the world.

HID Global announces the world’s fastest retransfer printer for personalizing ID cards

UK News Desk /

HID Global have announced a new ID card retransfer printer. The HID FARGO HDP6600 High Definition Printer/Encoder halves the time it takes to print the first ID card, while doubling overall throughput as compared to many alternatives.  HID has achieved card throughput speeds by combining patent-pending iON “instant on” technology with other advancements to enable simultaneous film printing and card retransfer processes. According to the manufacturer, this approach reduces the time it takes to print the first card to an industry-low 60 seconds, cutting average annual wait times by up to 20 hours for printed and laminated cards while enabling overall throughput of up to 230 cards per hour.  “With the HID FARGO HDP6600 printer, HID Global has redefined retransfer technology innovation,” said Craig Sandness, Vice President and Managing Director for Secure Issuance with HID Global. “We looked at this well-established product category with new eyes to deliver the features and capabilities that are in highest demand from government, enterprise and higher education customers. The HID FARGO HDP6600 is not only breathtakingly fast and efficient, but it represents a whole new way to think about retransfer printing.”   The HDP6600 printer’s true 600 DPI resolution and precision colour panel registration reportedly enables sharper text, crisper barcode edges and more vibrant colours than possible with other products that use dithering techniques that can only approximate this image quality.  The printer uses a multi-tasking architecture, supported by a gigabyte of memory to help enable its faster card throughput speeds. It has been designed at so the card path, film and ribbon drawer assemblies are easier to access and service. The HDP6600 is field-upgradable with optional modules including a card flattener, dual-side flipper, and choice of magnetic, contact and contactless encoders plus a programmer option for encoding physical access control system (PACS) data. www.hidglobal.com
