Authentication Solution
Providers’ Association (ASPA), the world’s only non-profit Association
representing the interests of the entire authentication solutions industry,
will be exhibiting at the seventh edition of the Label Expo 2014 being held at
Pragati Maidan in New Delhi on October 29- November 01, 2014. The one-of-its-kind
label event in South Asia brings together renowned names from the labels,
printing and packaging industry, featuring nearly 250 companies across a
sprawling 5,800 sqmts.
ASPA is a partner for the Label
Expo 2014 event and will be exhibiting at Stand #G36 in Hall #11. ASPA member
companies already protect over 10,000 brands worldwide through the
authentication of legitimate products and documents. ASPA works closely with
world renowned authorities such as Interpol, Counterfeit Intelligence Bureau
(CIB) and International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) to safeguard
the larger interests of the authentication solutions industry.
On supporting Label Expo 2014,
Mr. Manoj Kochar, President, Authentication Solution Providers’ Association,
said, “We have partnered with the Label Expo for the past several years under
our earlier brand name of HoMAI, though we are exhibiting under the ASPA banner
for the first time. In the past, we were only accepting membership from
hologram manufacturers, but this year onwards, with the broader mandate passed
by our governing body, we are also soliciting other authentication solution
providers to join hands in our fight against counterfeiting and to
comprehensively grow the authentication solutions industry. For over 16 years,
our members have enjoyed an unparalleled reputation and credibility among
buyers and other stakeholders worldwide for their adherence to best practices,
quality standards, ethics and use of latest technologies to provide truly
customised, cost-effective and consistently reliable solutions. We would love
to discuss how ASPA can help more authentication solution providers and emerge
as a strong voice to represent their collective interests.”
ASPA will be accepting requests
for full and associate membership at its booth during all four days of the
Expo. Visitors can also collect their complimentary copy of ASPA’s official
quarterly journal, The Authentication Times, from the booth. ASPA binds itself
to the promise of 4C’s for its members, by being committed, connected, current
