Amsterdam, June 7, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces it is delivering its Sealys Premium Inlay and
embedded Sealys eTravel Software for Colombia's first national electronic

Carlos Yañez Arenas, Managing Director, Thomas Greg & Sons de Colombia S.A.

now the 30(th) country Gemalto is enabling to evolve from paper identity to
eDocuments," added Jérôme Desbois, Vice President of Government Programs for
Latin America at Gemalto. "ePassports can be in the field for 10 years and the
