Giesecke & Devrient (G&D), one of the main sponsors of the Currency Conference taking place May 11-13, 2015 in Vancouver, presents the company's entire solution and product portfolio surrounding banknotes with a specific focus on banknote design as well as security and automated solutions.
"Maximum security in the money cycle is of the utmost priority for G&D," emphasized Ralf Wintergerst, Member of the G&D Management Board and Group Executive Banknote. "We support our customers, including many central banks and central bank printing plants, in ensuring a functioning currency system. They rely on us. Innovation is the key to safeguarding this security. G&D is innovation and technology leader in the area of banknote creation as well as banknote processing. At the Currency Conference, we will therefore be showcasing a new security feature, the RollingStar® LEAD, and also innovative further developments in our banknote processing systems, such as the new loading module NotaTracc."
Design competence is another key focus for G&D at the Currency Conference. Wintergerst: "Due to the increasing complexity of banknotes, the requirements regarding design competence are continually being raised. These days, banknote design means meeting the demands of the public just as well as those of professional participants in the money cycle. Banknote design has to reconcile the aesthetics with the functionality of banknotes, and to ensure that they function properly in the money cycle. As part of this, for example, security features are optimally harmonized, embedded, and applied, from design to machine readability."
Which key factors are crucial for the production and management of banknotes and how they affect the protection of investments in the money cycle will be explained by Florian Reithmeier, Head of the Currency Management Solutions division in the Banknote business unit. G&D will also be presenting the latest further development in banknote processing systems in the form of NotaTracc. The loading module with associated tray is a standardized solution for the increased automated processing and mechanization in the money cycle. At the Currency Conference, G&D's subsidiary Louisenthal will be presenting a new security feature, RollingStar® LEAD. This is a flexible concept for a security foil, which combines the micro-mirror technology of the RollingStar® security thread with added optically variable effects.
