AlpVision expands in North America

Swiss product authentication specialist AlpVision has opened up an office in Chicago, USA, to help advance its business on the other side of the Atlantic.

The new office will be given the technical resources to become self-standing for North American operations early next year, said the company.

AlpVision is best known for its Cryptoglyph covert machine readable security solution - which can be printed using regular ink and equipment and read using a standard office scanner - and its Fingerprint technology for differentiating genuine product from fakes based on digital imaging.

"The establishment of a US office is a logical step for AlpVision, given that all major US packaging printers have been supplying Cryptoglyph secured packaging for several years now," said the company in a statement.
