Strengthened partnership between Hueck Folien and IQ Structures

Hueck Folien and IQ Structures, two leading innovators in the field of banknote security features, have announced a strengthened partnership under the Nanovista brand, following an overwhelmingly positive market response to their joint efforts. Under the renewed agreement and in addition to the exclusive collaboration for Nanoswitch® now IQ Structures’ advanced security features for the banknote sector will be exclusively marketed together with Hueck Folien.

This enhanced cooperation marks a significant milestone in the field of banknote security, combining the cutting-edge nano-origination technologies of IQ Structures with the wide range of foil-based high quality security features for banknotes of Hueck Folien, partner of the world’s most secure currencies with over 30 years of experience. Together, the two companies form a consortium with the aim of setting benchmarks in the banknote security market.

Positive Market Response and Future Prospects

The first project, launched in May last year under the common brand Nanovista®, received a very positive response from the market, demonstrating strong interest and demand for the advanced high-level security solutions. New products are currently under development, aiming to set further milestones in nano-engineered high-security features.

This exclusive agreement allows us to offer unparalleled security solutions to central banks worldwide, ensuring the utmost protection for their currencies. Together, we are setting new standards in banknote security.”
