CCL Secure
CCL Secure are the polymer banknote people. We engineer the world’s most durable, secure, efficient and sustainable polymer banknotes. Our company was born of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s effort to build a better banknote, back in 1988. Innovating and improving the modern polymer banknote has been our sole mission since. We are the only company exclusively focused on designing, developing and producing polymer banknotes. Drawing on our leading expertise, we have supported more than 45 central banks with issuing polymer over the past 30 years. Having global sites supported by the strength of parent company, CCL Industries, enables us to provide end-to-end service with the assurance of business continuity. We have unparalleled access to manufacturing, technical and sales staff with highly specialised skills and local knowledge: in Australia, to look after Asia Pacific; the UK, to support markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Mexico, to provide regional solutions in Central and South America. Throughout this period of innovation and production, we have engineered GUARDIAN™ substrate which has produced over 75 billion banknotes, whilst our latest innovation SPARTAN™ banknotes will further help central banks realise their currency goals.
