Sekuworks to purchase Northern Bank Note Company

Sekuworks, a global brand protection solutions provider, has announced that it has finalized the acquisition of Northern Bank Note Company, a 116-year-old secured document printing company.

Northern Bank Note is a financial security printer of stock certificates and intaglio printed documents. Its unique capabilities provide protection against the growing problem of fraudulent duplication of documents. 

In operation since 1891, Northern Bank Note is one of only a few security printers capable of intaglio and security printing in the world. Their strong customer base includes companies and banks such as Daimler Benz, Jefferson Smurfit, Nokia and Telefonos de Mexico.

‘The acquisition of Northern Bank Note is a logical ‘next step’ in broadening our scope of offerings in the secure brand and document solution market,’ said Joe Schutte, CEO and president of Sekuworks. ‘It is a natural addition for Sekuworks as Northern provides synergies and technologies compatible to both our current and future market objectives. The integration of Sekuworks technologies and Northern’s broad depth of experience will take secure documents to an unprecedented level of security, making our world a safer place to live.’
