LaserCard Receives $3.1 Million Order for U.S. Green Card Program
Card Sets Uncompromised Security Standard for Advanced ID Programs Worldwide
Mountain View, Calif., August 6, 2009–LaserCard Corporation (NASDAQ:LCRD), a leading provider of secure ID solutions, today announced receipt of a purchase order of approximately $3.1 million for the supply of additional U.S. Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards). The order calls for deliveries to be completed by December 31, 2009.
“After more than 10 years, over 20 million cards, and progressive collaboration, we are pleased to continue our support for this key program,” said Bob DeVincenzi, President and CEO of LaserCard Corporation.
The U.S. Green Card utilizes LaserCard’s tamperproof and highly counterfeit resistant optical memory technology in combination with other advanced security features, including the company’s Personalized Embedded Hologram, a critical feature used by inspectors or agents when electronic readers are not available. The digital security of LaserCard’s optical memory has never been compromised.
The purchase order was received from General Dynamics Information Technology, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), prime contractor to USCIS, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
