Mainz/Dresden, Germany (euro adhoc) - KSW Microtec AG, one of the
world´s leading suppliers of RFID components and inlays for secure
cards, documents and other form factors, announced today that the
company's Thinlam® has been selected by ACiG Technology to be its
primary thin pre-laminated product for high frequency (HF) smartcard
applications.

Thomas Hitzer, CEO of KSW stated today: "We are very pleased with
this selection by ACiG Technology. It is a real validation of our
newly launched and innovative product line to be selected by RFID
players like ACiG and we are looking forward to expand our
cooperation with ACiG and the Bluehill ID Group in general."

"The KSW Thinlam® product offers unique qualities to our clients so
it was a natural choice for us to add the KSW products to our range
of RFID inlays," said Anton Witkowski, CEO of ACiG. "We are very
happy to work with KSW on promoting this breakthrough technology to
our clients in the EMEA region and in the Americas."

The new KSW Thinlam®, with a thickness down to 280?m, sets new
standards for card manufacturing. It enables manufacturers to produce
HF and UHF RFID cards with more layers, broadening the possibilities
to integrate additional security and other high value features into
cards. The exceptional thinness is achieved by manufacturing the
Thinlam® without chip modules - which also results in smoother card
surfaces and better printing outcome. Thinlam® maintains the highest
durability thanks to its unique patented chip connection technology.
In addition, due to the consistently reproducible antenna geometries,
KSW Thinlam® achieves tighter resonance frequency tolerances.
Thinlam® can be manufactured on PVC, Polycarbonate, PET or Teslin®
and can also be used for transparent RFID cards thanks to its
excellent optical characteristics.
