“Bringing Vizinex into the HID family strengthens our position
in the RFID market, especially in North America,” said Bj�rn
Lidefelt, EVP and Head of HID Global. “This strategic acquisition
exemplifies our commitment to extending our leadership in the RFID
portfolio by providing a comprehensive suite of technology and
services to customers across key markets.”
The acquisition advances HID Global’s stature within the quickly
growing RFID tag market, as Vizinex RFID provides high-quality
standard and custom tags to clients that help create new
efficiencies, save money and improve tracking, security and
authentication. Vizinex’s expertise especially lies in delivering
tailor-made RFID tags that are completely integrated into and
compatible with different product designs. The applications can be
tailored to suit critical attributes such as shape, dimension,
frequency, and environmental tolerance (tolerant to, for example,
repeated exposure to adverse temperatures). The tags are then
manufactured in-house, in the US, using state-of-the-art, proven
processes with short turnaround times.
“Acquiring Vizinex is well aligned with HID Global
Identification Technologies’ strategy of expanding our product
offering, which with Vizinex now also will include a RFID product
platform based on PCBA technology. In addition, it will increase
our presence in key vertical markets as well as add complementary
tag manufacturing footprint in the US”, said Marc Bielmann, SVP
and Head of IdentificationTechnologies, HID Global. “This
acquisition, along with HID’s recent acquisition of Omni-ID,
expands both our technology portfolio offering and our geographic
reach as we strengthen our position as the global leader in RFID
tag design and manufacturing.”
Founded in 2012, and based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Vizinex
RFID is now part of HID Global’s Identification Technologies
Business Area led by Marc Bielmann. The Vizinex offering will merge
into HID Global Industrial Smart Components Business Unit and
benefit from HID Global’s sales and other global functions to
support their offering.
