Tell us a bit about the main products of the company. Being one of the leading manufacturers of tickets, we do have a large variety of ticketing solutions for our customers. Our main products are parking, public transports and highway tickets. Our products are sold in over 100 cities in 50 countries all over the world, thanks to our investments in developing a strong know-how and technology experience in offset printing and encoding magnetic and RFID tickets. We also produce tickets for box office systems, museums, pools, leisure parks, ski lifts, access control, pay and display, receipt rolls etc. We offer a wide combination of tickets such as, with or without magnetic stripe, in cardboard, thermal paper, composite materials or polyester, available in various thicknesses.
From the view point of technology, which is the most critical process in manufacturing of these products? Printing constitutes only 50% of the final product: magnetic stripes application, cutting, perforations, fanfold, encoding and good packaging cover up for the balance 50%. Production process for such products must be very precise, not only in printing but especially in converting processes also (perforation, longitudinal and lateral cutting). When the tickets are procured by car parking distributors or machines vendors, they must be extremely precise and functional to the final application. There is absolutely no margin for error. Does it involve some specific skills or technology licences? Yes! The main constructors (Skidata, THALES, Designa etc..) request licences every year.
