Inepro ID’s solutions are used primarily in Europe, with a growing presence in North and Latin America. Key applications include secure cloud printing and document flow control, smart locker management, and micropayment and user activity registration.

Strengthens the ecosystem

“Customers want an identity experience that is part of a larger ecosystem, including interactions from the door to the printer, the locker, the workstation and beyond,” said Björn Lidefelt, EVP and Head of HID. “Inepro ID strengthens our ecosystem with their expertise in secure print. We look forward to welcoming the team to the HID family, and together we will further extend trusted identities to how people work every day.”

The Inepro ID product offering includes credential-agnostic readers, software, and professional services. Its Spider reader family includes embedded readers for printers and lockers, as well as desktop and portable readers for authentication at workstations, digital boards, and cash registers. By adding these products to its portfolio, HID believes it is better positioned to accelerate growth across a variety of use cases and geographies.

Marc Bielmann, SVP and Head of Identification Technologies, HID, said, “Demand for RFID-based secure print is rising worldwide, driven by stronger security requirements and the shift to shared, flexible workspaces. Inepro ID brings proven technology and deep expertise in this market and HID brings global reach. Together, we will help more customers protect sensitive documents and authenticate users more easily, across a broader range of credential technologies.”
