Originally founded in 1982, our goal was to be innovation-led with a single purpose: to defeat counterfeiting and fraud. Starting out, the business produced tickets for major events and secure cheques and over the years, we have increasingly focused on specialized A4 documents (certificates and legal paperwork), brand protection and tax & revenue protection solutions for governments in EMEA.
Authentix Security Print Solutions now has key patents in security design and IP in production engineering anti-counterfeit. We continue to innovate in track and trace solutions and in-service management and fulfillment. We are the UK’s leading security print solution provider in the revenue protection and brand protection domain.
