Subtitle: Doubling inlay capacity over next 12 months to address
growing market demand

Santa Ana, Calif. and Ismaning, Germany, June 2, 2011 (euro adhoc) -
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of
products, services and solutions for the security, identification and
RFID industries, today announced plans to increase its global
production capacity to meet growing market demand for High Frequency
(HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID inlays. An inlay is a small
electronic device consisting of a microchip bonded to an
Identive-designed antenna, and functions as the heart of an RFID
credential such as a smart tag, label, sticker or card. RFID is
rapidly replacing traditional machine-readable identification
technologies in applications such as transport and event ticketing,
high-value asset tracking and electronic payment.

"To keep up with the rapidly growing demand for core RFID technology,
we more than doubled our production capacity in Germany in early 2010
and further boosted our capacity with the acquisition of Smartag in
Singapore at the end of the year. We plan to increase production
capacity in our Munich and Singapore plants and to commence
production of RFID inlays in the U.S. with the goal of doubling our
total inlay production capacity over the next 12 months" stated
Michael Kober, Managing Director of Transponders for Identive Group.

Ayman S. Ashour, CEO and Chairman of Identive, added, "Sales of
inlays and inlay-based products are now the fastest growing part of
our business. The successful completion of our recent secondary
offering enables us to accelerate our plans to expand our production
capacity to capitalize on the rising demand for high-performance RFID
products to support emerging applications such as NFC tagging,
payment and pharmaceutical tracking."

Identive expects to increase its capital spending over the next four
quarters to support its RFID inlay production requirements.
