Our Company

For over 15 years our range of partially visible and totally covert technologies have helped protect companies with trusted global consumer brands, against counterfeiting and parallel trading.

In this time our company's physicists and chemists have researched and developed some of the most sophisticated technologies in the world - each designed to protect our clients and their customers. This is why our clients often consider our technologies as part of their Customer Duty of Care programme.

Our covert technologies are just that - TOTALLY covert, remaining hidden until a unique 'key' is applied, similar to the combination lock on a safe. At that point they reveal vital information; product authenticity or tracking and source traceability data.

We describe our service as a 'technologies toolbox', in that we evaluate each client's need, and work toward providing a tailored solution through the mixing and matching of technologies that will work with a particular substrate and operate to maximum effect in a particular market environment.

This is our business, our ONLY business and has been for the past 15 years.

Our 'technologies toolbox' remains securely locked, against those who would seek to profit from the piracy of cherished brands, or put consumers' welfare at risk. For this reason we will not give any technical details of our technologies on this website. In fact the only time we will demonstrate their effectiveness, is at a private and confidential meeting, covered by a mutual non-disclosure agreement. We work as a 'silent partner' with our clients, refusing to identify them.

By taking these measures we help provide maximum protection for our clients - and the customers who trust in their brand.

Our Technologies

Our technologies which are proven for reliability and can be layered for additional security, protect against:

• Counterfeiting
• Unauthorised diversion (parallel trading)
• Unauthorised production

Our markings can be employed across a wide range of product categories, such as: Pharmaceuticals, Tobacco, Alcohol, Perfumery, Cosmetics, Toiletries, Foodstuffs, Baby products, Spare parts, Clothing and agronomic products such as chemical fertilisers, pesticides and insecticides.

We operate a continuous Research and Development programme that has resulted in the production of innovative and highly reliable covert and partially visible technologies that can be applied to products and their packing.

In terms of revealing whether a suspected product is genuine or counterfeit, most of our technologies are controlled by manufacturers' officers, however one may be activated directly by end users.

We tailor our technologies according to need and then undertake detailed testing on substrates to be marked. We also assist in undertaking trials prior to final production runs. The properties of our technologies range from instant identification that a product is genuine or counterfeit, through to traceability-to-source information.

Each of our technologies is proven to give reliability, stability and longevity, while also being designed to blend seamlessly into existing production processes, avoiding disruption to output.

Above all we realise that it is vital to identify whether a suspect product carrying your brand is counterfeit or not - instantly. With our advanced technologies your company can make this verification immediately, without any costly time delay caused by waiting for laboratory confirmation.

None of our technologies are commercially available elsewhere.
