Filtrona's Coated & Security Products Division has expanded and modernized its research, development and technical service facilities in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The project required substantial building work within the existing laboratory space, which was completed over a five-month period during the latter half of 2009. Now double in size, the new technology center incorporates a temperature and humidity controlled analytical room and an engineering room for work on proprietary systems and reading devices, such as those used in Payne Security's authentication technologies. "This investment reflects the success of key product developments by our teams who are dedicated to turning new ideas into products that exceed our clients' needs and expectations," says Tony Edwards, divisional managing director, Filtrona Coated & Security Products. "We are delighted that Filtrona has placed its trust in our abilities by providing Payne and Payne Security with these world-class facilities with which to deliver the future of our tear tape and security businesses." In addition to this investment, Payne Security has also built a major new facility for security and smart card production at its Banbury site, which includes a clean room as well as a self-contained design studio to support its efforts in high quality personalization. And recently it announced the acquisition of BP Labels, a provider of creative and secure label solutions. Enditem
