Landqart

Gold Sponsor

Welcome to Landqart AG, the highly innovative Swiss manufacturer of substrates for banknote, passport, and visa applications that is supplied to some 50 countries around the world.

We are the only manufacturer of high-security paper in Switzerland. Located in the picturesque valleys of South-East Switzerland, paper of the highest quality has been produced at our site since 1872. Today we produce in excess of 10,000 tons of cylinder mould made paper for banknote and passport applications using state-of-the-art technology, and are proud suppliers to monetary authorities and governments around the world.

Banknotes, passports, and security documents in general demand a lot from the sophisticated substrate on which they are printed. It is essential that originality and security against counterfeiting are guaranteed, and they must do so every day, in every conceivable climate and usage scenario. Lesser materials are simply not up to these challenges.

High quality raw materials, professional processing, years of experience and Swiss precision make the security documents built upon our substrates the most secure in the world. As a leading manufacturer of security paper in Europe, we have faced this challenge head-on for generations. We have the know-how to combine and use traditional features and modern advanced materials in innovative ways to meet and exceed the demands of our customers.

The blending of traditional paper making and advanced materials is exemplified in Durasafe®, the only true paper-polymer composite material available in the industry. The polymer component allows the seamless integration of see-through windows into a substrate at the same time as adding watermarks and security threads. Durasafe brings unprecedented strength, counterfeit resistance, and design possibilities to banknotes and passports
