Oberthur Technologies is the successor of the Oberthur printing which was founded in 1842 by the master printer and lithographer, François Charles Oberthur.

In 1984, Jean-Pierre Savare took over the security printing activity (the two other activities of letterpress and publishing were taken over by other buyers) and founded Oberthur Technologies.

Thanks to the entrepreneurial skills of its General management and the dynamism of its employees, Oberthur Technologies has grown immensely and taken the right technological decisions to become a unique, international, forward-looking group.

Oberthur Technologies has also invested in powerful production units and established itself in 5 continents to better understand the requirements of local markets and match customer requirements perfectly.

Oberthur Technologies now has :

• 25 industrail plants (North America, South America, Europe, Asia/Pacific)
• 40 commercial and management sites (North America, South America, Europe, Asia/Pacific)
