---------------------------------------------------------------------
Amsterdam, January 27, 2011 - SMARTRAC N.V., a leading developer,
manufacturer and supplier of RFID transponders, today announced that it has
obtained Card Quality Management (CQM) Certification from MasterCard for
its factory in Kulim, Malaysia. The CQM Label has been granted to
SMARTRAC's high frequency card inlays following an on-site audit.
SMARTRAC has started setting up card inlay production in its Malaysian
production facility in fall 2010. The expansion is part of an investment
program targeted at enlarging the company's worldwide production capacity.
The MasterCard CQM Label for the factory in Kulim is an important
accomplishment and complements the existing MasterCard CQM Label for high
frequency card inlays, Durable Dual Interface (DDI) inlays and module
packaging process in the company's production facility in Ayutthaya,
Thailand.
'Thanks to the excellent performance of the teams in Thailand and Malaysia,
we were able to conduct the ramp-up as scheduled and completed CQM
certification in a comparably short period of time,' said Wolfgang
Schneider, Member of the Group Executive Team and Head of Business Unit
Cards at SMARTRAC. 'The certification is once again proof of our competence
and commitment to highest quality and security.'
CQM is a quality program ensuring high quality standards throughout the
entire production process of MasterCard-branded products. With the recently
awarded CQM certification, SMARTRAC's production processes have formally
been verified to pursue the strict MasterCard quality requirements for the
manufacturing facility, process management, testing, evaluation, and
auditing.
