History

Ingenia Technology was founded following years of research funding at Durham University and Imperial College in London. Under the leadership of Professor Russell Cowburn, the Laser Surface Authentication technology that forms the basis of the security solution was developed.[2] Ingenia Technology has its headquarters in London with satellite offices in Vienna and Zurich.

Technology

Laser Surface Authentication analyses the naturally occurring random structure of a surface and from this, generates a signature or code unique to that surface. This code can then be used to authenticate and identify the item in the same way as a fingerprint. The technology can be used for paper, cardboard, plastics, metals and ceramics, and has found many applications across a diverse number of markets.[3]

Awards

The company has won many technology and company awards in recent years including:
