Authentix and KURZ Join Forces to Deliver QUANTUM stripe™ at Scale

Authentix, a pioneer in nano-optic security technologies, has signed a Cooperation and License Agreement with LEONHARD KURZ, one of the world’s largest advanced high security feature manufacturing companies, uniting the former’s breakthrough innovation with the latter’s world-class production capacity.

The agreement covers QUANTUM™ stripe, Authentix’ patented fully animated nano-optic feature.

Launched two years ago, it is based on plasmonics and delivers a combination of movement, 3D stereoscopic depth, and multicolour effects in an ultra-thin form factor, offering dynamic effects at all angles and under all lighting conditions (see CN September 2023).
