Effective April 1st, 2002, Ban-Koe is proud to announce a new addition to Ban-Koe Companies - Identatronics, based out of Chicago, Illinois.
Incorporated in 1973, Identatronics was founded and positioned to address the custom ID badge market. Manufactured from polyester material (not paper), this material produced durable, high-quality photo ID badges that were sold to various markets.
With steady growth, Identatronics gained a solid reputation not only in the Chicago area but in the domestic market as well. This was fueled by word-of-mouth customer endorsements, including Fortune 500 companies.
In 1984, our dealer network was established, along with a direct sales force to handle the sales demand within the United States. The photo ID market began to grow and change rapidly. Driven by market requirements, Identatronics soon began to manufacture badges with magnetic stripe and bar code technologies. Offering cards with either single or dual technology.
In 1987 an international sales and manufacturing facility was opened in Lausanne, Switzerland to service European and Middle-Eastern customers. Shortly thereafter, a dealer network was created in Latin America as well as Central and South America. Unfortunately, with the sudden death of it's Director, Identatronics, S.A. decided to close European operations. All international sales and manufacturing were re-directed to the corporate office in Illinois.
As the 90's began, Identatronics seized an opportunity to expand its traditional ID business into digital imaging software and established the Video SuperCard (VSC) Group in 1995. This software product met with great success. It offered customers the ability to create quality ID badges with the use of a personal computer, camera and printer. Additional products were offered to compliment the VSC product line. Late 90's the Service Bureau Division was implemented.
Present day, 2002. As we look to the future, Identatronics will continue to expand both sales and production facilities by adding new equipment and offering new products.
