TAGSYS is the new Name for Gemplus Tag Same Organization, Increased Resources



La Ciotat (France), 15 October 2001 - Today marks the official launch of TAGSYS as an independent company, formally known as Gemplus Tag.

To intensify its strategic market-driven approach and to reinforce its leadership in the growing market of smart asset tracking, TAGSYS chose to part from a company essentially focused on smart card developments for telecommunications, financial services and e-business security.

World class companies have invested into TAGSYS because they firmly believe in the success of this enterprise. With headquarters in France and subsidiaries on 3 continents, TAGSYS has several R&D centers, a technical team of unrivalled experience and an outstanding track record of technological innovation, including a most extensive patent portfolio of this technology.

With 15 years of experience in RFID design, TAGSYS is today the leading manufacturer of passive RFID (radio frequency identification) products and the only company in the world to provide complete RFID systems from chip design, tags and smart labels, readers and antennas, to application-specific reading stations, compatible with TAGSYS chips and other leading chips on the market. TAGSYS has the widest product portfolio and its reading devices are unique in their compatibility with TAGSYS chips and other major chips on the market.

TAGSYS maintains the largest tag and smart label production capacity in the world.

Inventor of the first smart label operating at 13.56MHz, TAGSYS is today the indisputable leader at 13.56MHz and its technology is able to achieve an unequaled 100% tag read rate in industrial environments.

Back in 1999, the company acquired Australian-based ISD (Integrated Silicon Design), a specialist in UHF and 13.56MHz technologies for logistics applications and first radio frequency expert to implement large scale RFID systems for the management of library books.

Millions of TAGSYS products are used in many applications around the world to ensure the most efficient identification and tracking of assets into supply chains to blue chip customers, including Air Liquide, Allibert, Marks & Spencer , Coyne Textile Services and the national libraries of Singapore.
