Dubai, U.A.E. / Stuttgart, Germany, August 20, 2010 – Digital Identification Solutions
Group (DISO), a leading international ID solutions provider, through its UAE distributor,
Emirates Photo Marketing (EPM), has been awarded a major contract worth more than a
7-digit Euro amount for the supply of personalization systems and consumables to the
Abu Dhabi Federal Government.
While DISO has been one of the leading providers of ID personalization hardware and
cardware for the Abu Dhabi Police Head Quarters over the past 5 years, this order is another
significant milestone for the company. V. Gopalakrishnan, DISO’s Regional General Manager
for the AMECA (Africa, Middle-East & Central Asia) Region, based in Dubai, comments: “Abu
Dhabi Police Head Quarters, who is completely satisfied by the service and support provided by
DISO and EPM, has decided to implement the use of EDIsecure® hardware and cardware
throughout the country – including the Emirate of Dubai – for the issuance of Drivers’ License
and Vehicle Registration Cards. Even though the client had other options from competing
companies, the outstanding reliability and performance of the EDIsecure® XID Retransfer
Printers and Laminators under highly demanding throughput – as well as extreme
environmental conditions – were contributing factors in the decision being made in our favor.”
Gerd Schaefer, CEO of the DISO Group, says: “We consider this significant order as another
testimony to our long enduring efforts to support the region from our fully equipped service,
support and logistic operations in the Dubai Airport Free Zone. It shows that our previous
investments continue to pay us back big time.”
DISO considers the AMECA Region, with its vast potential not only in the Middle-East, but also
in Africa and the Indian sub-continent, as one of the most important emerging markets for the
company.
“AMECA continues to be one of our top-performing regions for DISO worldwide. It shows that
our portfolio of personalization solutions, including Arabic software as well as an extremely
scalable and reliable range of hardware and cardware products, is very well accepted in these
fast growing markets. This unique portfolio in combination with the strong leadership of the
DISO team in the Dubai operations, top performing partners like EPM, and the growing demand for performing and affordable solutions will create another attractive revenue and earnings
potential for the group in the forthcoming future,” Schaefer adds.
