Covestro and EMPTECH Partner on High-Security ID Documents

"Covestro, a leading high-performance polymer manufacturer, and EMPTECH, a secure ID document system integrator, have signed an MoU to jointly develop high-security ID document solutions for China and emerging markets.

Sean Zheng, CEO of EMPTECH, added, “Material performance is critical for secure documents. This partnership strengthens our technical capabilities and competitiveness in emerging markets.”
