Brand New agency agreement for Regula

Johannesburg, 31 Oct 2012

Brand New Technologies is pleased to announce it has signed the local agency for Regula, a scientific and industrial enterprise headquartered in Minsk, Republic of Belarus. Established in 1992, Regula has since positioned itself as a leading developer and producer of hi-tech forensic equipment and software.

Regula's beginnings lie with the development and production of banking equipment for currency authentication, evolving into the development of a range of different devices for the authentication of security papers, IDs and passports. Its focus became the introduction of up-to-date technologies and integrated solutions for forensic markets and governmental law-enforcement structures.

Charles Laxton, CEO at Brand New, believes the current offering from Regula is technologically unique. “Regula's products, which we can now bring to the local market, include portable complex devices for the investigation of vehicle identification numbers by magneto-optical visualisation (a non-destructive method), compact laboratories for the examination of documents and other security papers, and full-page desktop and mobile passport readers.”

Brand New presently supplies a full range of secure documentation solutions such as national ID cards, passports and driver's licences, and border control solutions. The Regula product range will enhance this offering, allowing the company's clients to verify specific security elements being presented at border control points and embassies by forensically examining citizen documents for authenticity.

“We are excited to be partnered with Regula. Identity management is becoming critical in both the public and private sector, and the Regula portfolio allows us to support our clients' initiatives in this area, with the some of the most advanced technology available today,” says Laxton

Nikita Kolesnev, Deputy Director of International Marketing and Business Development at Regula, comments: “It is our honour to appoint Brand New Technologies as Regula's partner in South Africa. With this appointment, we will be able to provide the country with the latest solutions, services and support.”
