IDENTIS DEBUTS AT TRUSTECH, MARKING MATICA GROUP’S EVOLUTION

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 (Bernama) -- Identis, a global leader in secure identity and payment technologies, officially made its global debut, marking the evolution of the Matica Group and combining decades of experience with a renewed vision for the digital era.

Trustech, the leading global event for trust-based technologies and the flagship exhibition for the identity and payments sectors, is serving as the launchpad for Identis, the new corporate identity of the Matica Group.

“Today marks a milestone for our Group, our customers, our employees, and all our stakeholders,” said Identis chief executive officer, Sandro Camilleri in a statement.

The Group’s rapid growth—driven by in-house innovation and strategic acquisitions—has resulted in one of the industry’s most robust portfolios across Secure Identity and Payments. Originally focused on payment card issuance for financial institutions, Matica became a trusted global provider before expanding into high-growth digital identity markets.

Now operating as Identis, the company has evolved into one of the world’s largest Secure ID players, leveraging advanced technologies that merge physical and digital identity ecosystems. Its expanded capabilities reflect a shift from hardware-centric manufacturing to fully integrated identity solutions.

As a family-owned business, Identis draws strength from its entrepreneurial heritage, global footprint, diverse teams, and ability to compete with much larger industry peers. Its solutions span centralised, decentralised, and digital ID applications—bridging physical and digital trust infrastructures.

“Identity now accounts for 50 per cent of our yearly revenue, marking a new era where technology and innovation shape who we are. Identis stands on the proud foundations of Matica, Panini, and UbiQ combined with our large Secure ID business,” Camilleri added.

With nearly 100 solutions across hardware, software, and consumables, Identis’ modular and interoperable architecture enables seamless integration into varied customer environments.

The new brand reflects the Group’s evolution while preserving its core values. People, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative products remain central to the Identis DNA, underscoring a commitment to reliability, innovation, and long-term partnership.
