Sagem Sécurité (SAFRAN Group) announced today that its subsidiary Sagem Identification has been selected by the Croatian high-security printing house, the Agencija za komercijalnu djelatnost (AKD), to provide the polycarbonate datapage with integrated chip technology for the new Croatian biometric passport. Croatia is moving to a new highly secure electronic passport solution in order to comply with international standards.
The selection of Sagem Identification as the supplier of the datapage is a logical step following Sagem Sécurité’s market presence and successful passport implementations in already 7 other European countries. Deliveries will commence as early as of spring 2009. “We are both proud and honored to earn the trust of the Croatian customer and government,” said Anko Blokzijl, Chief Executive Officer of Sagem Identification. “This contract confirms our position as the market leader in high-end biometric passport solutions meeting the highest demands for secure solutions.”
