    Proven protection against counterfeits and refilling

    Solutions that secure supply chains and cash cycles for governments, central banks and businesses    

    De La Rue brings the depth of experience of a 200+ year company and a culture of creativity and innovation to our long-term partnerships and new projects.

    Counterfeiting and illicit trade represent a significant threat to the public, businesses, environment and governments. The scale of the problem is huge - somewhere between $1.7 trillion and $4.5 trillion a year according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This is higher than drugs or human trafficking. The potential impact of the threat is also significant - fake goods, currency and identity documents can harm health, businesses, economies, society and the environment.

    We provide software platforms that support enforcement officers, prevent diversification of goods and enable governments to collect tax revenues. We also provide secure documents that physically protect supply chains and cash cycles; these include physical brand protection token, polycarbonate ID bio-data pages and ID cards, tax stamps, banknotes, polymer banknote substrate and currency security features.

    Our solutions help governments, central banks and businesses in 140 countries.

    "The new £20 continues the Bridges Series, building on the design and images of the polymer £5 and £10, including the innovative substrate windows as actual windows in The Mound building in the design. The new holographic foil features the statue Victory that sits on top of The Mound building and this hologram is the most impactful to date."
