G&D Security Card Systems (G&D SCS) is a full service supplier to the plastic card industry. The foundation of the company`s business strategy is to supply superior custom products and services to the providers of transaction-based services. This is attained through constant research and development, current awareness of industry issues and trends, and a close working relationship with every customer. It is supported by a strong workforce within the organization whose daily contribution is based on a clear set of business values, ethics and guidelines - all a result of strong leadership and a shared vision of success. This strategy has made G&D SCS Canada's largest plastic card manufacturer and service bureau and gained the organization a designation as one of Canada's top 50 privately owned companies. Growth and Success G&D SCS originated in 1962 as Dashew Business Machines (Canada) Ltd. It became Security Card Systems in 1971 when Agency Press Inc. purchased the company from its U.S. parent. With VISA certification attained in 1968 and MasterCard certification in 1973 the organization set the foundations for its position as Canada's largest card manufacturer. For a period of time the company was owned by British American Bank Note Inc. and was a member of the BCE group of companies. In April of 1989 SCS became a privately-held company. In December of 1995, SCS was purchased by Giesecke & Devrient GmbH(G&D), established 140 years ago, a world leader in the areas of cards, card systems, currency manufacturing and currency processing equipment. The Group of G&D companies is presently operating internationally, with headquarters in Munich and subsidiaries located in Belgium, Greece, Mexico, Spain, the USA and Canada. G&D also has joint ventures operating in China, Egypt, Russia and Australia.
