Banknotes look out from a purse against the background of a vegetable department

We’ve been printing banknotes since 1854 – and we still do for customers in over 100 countries. Ever take a look at the euro notes in your wallet? Aside from the great design and security features, they show where they were printed: if the serial number starts with W it was G+D Leipzig, while X denotes G+D Munich.

Through our Veridos joint venture with Germany’s Bundesdruckerei, we’re a leading light in the secure production of passports along with other state-of-the-art ID systems and services around the world. In fact, Bangladesh recently announced the implementation of ePassport infrastructure in all its embassies – and we provide the technology.
