About

Founded in 1976, NiD is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the birthplace of the international watchmaking industry. Here, techniques and know-how have been passed down from generation to generation along with a constant quest for innovation, fostering the development of new skills in a range of activities. NiD has naturally followed this trajectory and our vision can be seen in the quality and precision of our products.

Microtechnology has transformed our daily lives and stimulated the need for secure identification, alongside the financial market’s requirement for ever greater security. Faced with these complex expectations and subject to rigid standards, NiD’s patented production methods integrate sophisticated electronic components in a wide variety of formats, including compliant plastic cards.

Thanks to a pioneering and innovative spirit, technological competence, excellent
product quality and positive customer response, NiD now enjoys a global presence.
