CPI Card Group announces name change for Didier Printing

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Didier Printing Company will now be known as CPI Card Group – Indiana. CPI acquired Didier Printing in January 2008, and the name change reflects the integration of the two companies.

The combined business has three manufacturing sites in Colorado, Nevada, and Indiana. The company also has the largest smart card production capacity in the industry. The combined facilities will provide increased flexibility for customers’ plastic card needs, utilizing the best practices forged by each company’s extensive industry experience.

Each of the three locations will maintain its unique focus in the marketplace. CPI – Indiana is focused on the short-run secure card market. CPI – Colorado specializes in high volume secure card orders. CPI – Nevada manufactures all general-purpose plastic. [end]
