Linxens continues to craft the future of connections
One year after revealing its complete product range of secure contact and
contactless solutions for smartcard Microconnectors and RFID Inlays and Antennas,
Linxens continues its transformation.
Supported by its new reference shareholder, Linxens, the leading technology
company providing component-based solutions for security and identification,
confirms it ambition to conquer new markets and further diversify its product portfolio.
In a phygital world where the interlacing of our physical and digital lives is ever more
apparent, Linxens will remain at the forefront by bringing even more secure
connectivity solutions to the market.
“Linxens is evolving to an even more agile Group that is resolutely customer oriented.
We’re stepping up our transformation to stay one step ahead of the needs of our
customers around the world,” explains Christophe Duverne, Linxens President and
CEO.
Crafting the future alongside a new shareholder
2018 has been a defining year for Linxens: Tsinghua Unigroup became their
reference shareholder, giving rise to synergies that will fuel business development
opportunities.
“Linxens’ growth ambition is founded on two pillars: the first being a global
transformation plan which will enable us to develop new skills, create new products,
innovate and widen our offer to better serve our clients all along the value chain,”
continues Christophe Duverne. “The second is through geographical expansion,
thanks to sales development in countries with the highest growth potential. With the
support of Tsinghua Unigroup, the gateway to the Chinese market, one of huge
potential but where the competition is fierce, is now open to Linxens.”
Keeping ahead of the market
Linxens boasts four R&D centers, dedicated to continuous improvement and
innovation, and its ability to successfully manufacture reliable, high quality products
on a large scale is underlined by the success of one of its more recent products,
OptiSIM, with more than 2 billion pieces delivered since mid-2017.
Building on its proven excellence and know-how with innovations such as dLoc and
Edgelink, Linxens confirms its ability to accurately respond to the needs of its clients
around the world. dLoc brings together the irrefutable security of blockchain and the
convenience of NFC to create a system to manage and authenticate vital records.
Meanwhile, in response to the market demand for dual interface smartcards,
Edgelink’s copper wire antenna, embedded connecting pad and module connector
integrate seamlessly into any smartcard in a very easy and cost optimized way.
