- iDcentrix (OTCBB: IDCX), a provider of innovative, highly secure ID cards and card issuance systems, today announced its partnership with Carnets, Tarjetas y Tecnologia S.A. (CardTech) based in Guatemala. CardTech has extensive experience as a systems integrator for plastic card solutions and Point-of-Sales (POS) transaction systems, and expertise in providing identity solutions to the Federal and Municipal branches of Guatemala. The preferred partnership calls for both companies to jointly consider bids for ID cards in the country.
"We are developing strategic relationships that allow us to be well-prepared for ID market opportunities in the Caribbean and Latin America," says iDcentrix President and CEO Francine Dubois. "CardTech has tremendous experience in the card payment market and their success in the ID sector validates their security expertise."
With its deep-welding technology that welds the ID data to the card body, iDcentrix provides CardTech a unique advantage to help create the most secure government-issued credentials on the market. The combined team will develop a package solution to offer CardTech's customers in the region.
"We believe that the timing is right to present the iDcentrix technology to our ID customers and prospects," says CardTech president Jose Logros. "This partnership will certainly allow us to distinguish ourselves from our competition and reinforce our position in the market."
