G&D and Aveso Partner to Produce Hot Laminated Electronic Display Cards
Aveso, Inc. (http://www.avesodisplays.com), the leader in hot laminated flexible displays, and Giesecke & Devrient (http://www.gi-de.com), a leading global supplier of smart cards, today announced they have partnered to produce hot laminated electronic display cards featuring Aveso's rugged display technology.
The companies will introduce products to meet the global demand for one-time password (OTP) authentication cards used to protect online information in the enterprise, banking and consumer markets. OTP cards place one-time password authentication into a convenient credit card form factor.
Under the partnership, the companies will leverage Giesecke & Devrient's (G&D) smart card technology expertise and global secure card manufacturing infrastructure to produce high quality OTP display cards that feature an Aveso display embedded together with a battery, circuit and button in a standard credit card form factor.
"Banks, online brands and security providers worldwide are demanding OTP cards to help protect consumers from Internet fraud and identity theft," said Dennis Brestovansky, President and CEO of Aveso, Inc. "We are proud to be working with a company of the status, capability and excellent quality reputation of G&D to deliver against global demand for our display products."
