UK-based
API Holographics, part of the API Group, has partnered with Czech
Republic-based IQ Structures (IQS), led by Tomas Tethal, to launch a joint venture
business, API Optix.
The
new business brings together the specialist capabilities and resources of API
and IQS to form a joint technology center. The venture will further enhance
API’s offering of holographic originations for specialist security applications.
API
says it will be able to offer its customers a broader and more innovative range
of design possibilities using nano-level overt and covert security features
incorporated into sharp clear holographic images.
This
project is one of a number of investment strategies currently being undertaken
by API. Others include the installation of a new demetallization line, an
upgrade of site security accreditation and the development of a new design
studio and visitors’ suite.
