KSW Microtec AG,
one of the world´s leading suppliers of RFID components and inlays 
for secure cards and documents, has received MasterCard Certification
for its innovative Thinlam® prelaminate.
This latest milestone follows the strategy to offer RFID components 
and Thinlams® for high security applications in the fields of 
eBanking and eGovernment. This strategic move encouraged KSW Microtec
to initiate further expansion in its production environment at its 
headquarters in Dresden. The MasterCard Certification for KSW´s 
Thinlam product family enabled KSW Microtec to offer a new generation
of Thinlam® prelaminates with Microcontrollers for banking 
applications at the highest security level manufactured in Germany.
Now, with MasterCard Specialized Vendor Certification, KSW Microtec 
can capitalize on its investment in innovation and high standards, by
consolidating its position in existing markets, strengthen its 
position in the banking and eGovernment sectors and enter new 
markets, such as healthcare.
"This Specialized Vendor Certification from MasterCard combined with 
the MasterCard CQM certificate, demonstrates KSW´s commitment to 
upholding the highest security standard," says Ines Leonhardt, Head 
of Quality Management at KSW Microtec.
Following receipt of the Specialized Vendor Certification, which is 
specific to KSW Mictrotec´s newly introduced mobile phone sticker for
ePayment, eTicketing and loyalty - and is the result of customer 
recommendations, the company is already seeing new orders from its 
trusted customers, especially in the American market.
In addition, the MasterCard CQM, a card quality management program 
ensuring high quality standards throughout the entire production 
process of MasterCard-branded products, applies to the manufacture of
KSW´s inlays for contactless-only ID-1 cards, specifically for the 
company´s Thinlam® and mobile phone sticker products.
Both certifications also mean that beyond providing customers and 
partners in ePayment and eGovernment with a total and reliable 
solution, KSW Microtec can now set its sights on a market that runs 
into the several millions in terms of dollar revenues and the 100 
millions in terms of the number of prelaminates supplied.
KSW´s polycarbonate Thinlam®, is already widely used in volume to 
meet the security demands of issuers of highly secure cards and 
documents of all types. In order to achieve this, multiple foil 
layers need to be added and large memory security microcontrollers 
need to be incorporated, while maintaining ISO standards for maximum 
card thickness. Due to its extreme thinness down to 200µm and proven 
ability to support the manufacture of HF and UHF RFID cards with 
multiple layers, Thinlam® is fit for purpose.
Furthermore, special construction techniques provide a mechanical 
stability due to KSW´s patented working technology for both the chip 
and the antenna. The technology is successfully proven and Thinlam® 
is already produced in volume. Issuers are guaranteed availability, 
durability and reliability. Now, with a fully accredited product, KSW
Microtec is set to extend its reach into new markets and new 
applications.
