BG INGENIERIE was created by Guy Besnier in 1999 with the aim to develop smart card activity specialized in production of small and medium series of smart cards. At first, the activity and core business of BG INGENIERIE has been supplying smart cards in different fields like, loyalty, membership, logical access cards, prototypes (contact, bi-techno cards) and small runs for the big card players.
To meet the increasing demands of card manufacturing – of those small series in production as in lab prototypes – BG INGENIERIE developed and sells a small production line, with manual feeding based on the 3 main card production steps: card milling, chip punching and chip implanting. For card testing, they provide from small desktop production devices to the durability card testing world for CQM, ANSI, ISO10373, ISO24789, and EMV norms. Besides these, BG INGENIERIE developed a series of equipment to E-passport testing to answer ICAO test specifications. To BGI, “The Future is linked with our customers and their new requirements…. yours”.
