A Celebration of 30 Years of Superior Foils for Banknotes

At the end of July, KURZ Banknote Security celebrated 30 years of security production at the Sulzbach-Rosenberg site in Germany with a two day customer event.

Under the motto ‘Tree of Life - Innovation Rooted in 30 Years of Experience’, the company welcomed guests with a look back at three decades of highsecurity manufacturing.

In keynote speeches such as ‘A Bird’s Eye View – Market Overview and Trends’, ‘Design Integration in Action’, and ‘Sustainable Foil Development’, internal and external experts demonstrated how market understanding, design, and sustainability go hand in hand at KURZ Banknote Security.

Another highlight was the presentation of the exclusive sample folder ‘Tree of Life’, containing three special sample notes, which are only available in a small edition.

All participants were also treated to a rare tour of selected areas of highsecurity foil production in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, under the title ‘A Walk through the Forest’.

KURZ – or Leonhard Kurz Stiftung and Co KG to give it its full name – is a fifth generation family-owned company established over 120 years ago. From its beginnings as a gold foil producer, it has developed into one of the world‘s leading manufacturer of hot stamping foils for banknotes.
