In 2020, KBA-NotaSys will become the last entity of the Koenig & Bauer Group to adopt the name change. The world leader in security printing will then operate as Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions.

This rebranding of KBA-NotaSys was originally planned for 1st June, but will now be implemented a few months later due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea is to harmonise brands within the group, but without impacting organisation or structures. Eric Boissonnas, CEO of KBA-NotaSys, explains: “The renaming reflects the operational and structural situation which has existed for many years, and ensures consistency across the whole group. It does not impact the current or future activities of our company. It’s all about fully integrating the Koenig & Bauer brand, both in the complementarity of the technical solutions we offer and in our visual identity. In this way, we want to ensure the continuity of our brand and offer our unique know-how under a single global name.” Claus Bolza-Schünemann, president and CEO of Koenig & Bauer AG, concludes: “We are very proud that KBA-NotaSys is joining our brand. We have been offering different, but complementary technologies since 2001. The new name Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions reflects the unique competence of our company in the world. And in future, our combined know-how will become even clearer for our customers.”
