Since 2007
Our History
From Gemalto veterans to global smart card manufacturer. The story of how industry expertise met Chinese manufacturing capability.
Company Founded
Cardzgroup was founded by a former senior management team from Gemalto UK, one of the world's largest smart card companies. The founding team brought decades of combined experience in card manufacturing, quality control, and international distribution.
Team Established in China
The management team built a dedicated team on the ground in China, tasked with auditing and selecting the finest card manufacturing factories. This hands-on approach ensured that only facilities meeting the highest international standards would be engaged for production.
Premium Component Sourcing
A robust supply chain was established, importing premium-grade components from overseas suppliers. This included industry-leading chips, high-quality magnetic stripes, security holograms, and other critical materials. By controlling component quality at the source, Cardzgroup ensured superior finished products.
Contract Manufacturing Innovation
Cardzgroup pioneered a contract manufacturing model that combined the low cost base of Chinese manufacturing with the high quality of internationally-sourced materials. This unique approach delivered a compelling value proposition: world-class card quality at highly competitive prices.
Continuous Growth & Improvement
Today, Cardzgroup continues to audit new factories, expand manufacturing capabilities, and refine its contract manufacturing model. Producing over 50 million cards annually, the company remains committed to delivering exceptional quality and value to clients worldwide.
