Oberthur Technologies Expands its Service Centre in Madrid, Spain

Nanterre, France (ots/PRNewswire) - Oberthur
Technologies, a world leader in secure technologies, has considerably
increased the capacity of its service centre in Torrejon de Ardoz
(Madrid).

With this expansion, Oberthur Technologies is able to offer its
Banking, Telecommunications, Transport and Identity customers in
Spain a wider range of value added services, as well as an even more
efficient and accessible after-sales service.

This move to bring the issuance closer to the distribution points
enables Oberthur Technologies to implement new processes of
"embedding-on-demand" (chip insertion) and "delivery-on-demand"
(logistics platform). New equipment will be installed in the new
service centre for embedding, laser engraving and high definition
colour printing.

Oberthur Technologies has also increased its offer of "Smart
Services", such as connected systems for real time monitoring of work
in progress, automatic reporting of finished work, as well as shared
management of assets (cards and associated materials).

With the incorporation of these latest advances for efficient
management of the supply chain, the new service centre, covering an
area of over 2,000 square metres, will directly increase the
company's productivity in Spain as well as its flexibility to offer
new and creative solutions to its clients.

In addition, Oberthur Technologies has reinforced its offer in
mobile services such as SIM "Personalisation on Demand", "Delivery on
Demand" and Point of Sale packaging. These services will enable
mobile operators and MVNOs in Spain to benefit from new distribution
channels, directly from the service centre to the end user or to the
point of sale.
