Mario Morger, Head of Sales Europe of LEGIC and Alok Kapoor, General Manager of APK-ID

LEGIC Identsystems Ltd, leading provider of contactless Smart Card Technology for personal identification, is extending its partner network. With the Indian credential manufacturer APK-ID, the company gains the largest manufacturer of RFID products in India as a new licence partner. In future, APK-ID will increasingly purchase LEGIC transponders and provide contactless identification inlets and credentials - such as cards, key fobs or wristbands - based on modern LEGIC advant multi-application technology.

With the partnership, APK-ID is reacting to the growing demand for contactless LEGIC advant cards on the part of its customers. As an important supplier to some of Europe's leading system integrators and card manufacturers, the company now also provides integrated LEGIC based all-purpose transponder solutions that can be used in the field of access control, time & attendance or cashless payment systems.

"We are convinced that the LEGIC licence agreement will strengthen our continuous market leadership in India as well as our European sales channels," says Alok Kapoor, General Manager of APK-ID. "Our end customers benefit from an advanced contactless technology that allows for the combination of many applications on one single credential while fulfilling highest security requirements."

Dr Otto Eggimann, Vice President Sales and Business Development of LEGIC, is sure of the mutual profit of the partnership for both companies: "With APK-ID, we gain a partner that is not only well-known in India but also holds a strong market presence in Europe. The partnership marks an important future investment as the large product portfolio of APK-ID can now be expanded by modern LEGIC advant technology."
