focused on its mission to lead the industry, Sillcocks became the first commercial plastic printer to utilize UV curing, which allowed for faster printing of sequential colors on a one color printing press. Also, Sillcocks was the first to adopt the use of clear UV varnish as a low cost alternative to platen lamination. This process created a new product that was used prolifically in the direct mail industry, i.e. Columbia House Records, Prudential, National Liberty and other insurance companies. John’s daughter, Michele Logan, with expertise in Computer Science and Industrial Management, joined the team in 1991. The demand for extended card life was on the rise, and the company turned its attention to the development of composite card materials for the ID card market. Together with Luis DaSilva, who previously led research and development, the team merged their core strengths in chemistry, materials science and product development to form CompoSecure in 2000. Since the creation of the first metal transaction card in 2003, CompoSecure has focused on developing secure, innovative and durable proprietary products and offering professional services to a wide variety of clients worldwide. A future of opportunity We are driven by innovation and collaboration. We see our clients as our partners, and every partnership as an opportunity to make an impact on our industry. We understand the pressure on our partners — card issuers — to differentiate their brands and become and stay top of wallet. Our expertise is in materials science, and we adapt technology and machinery from various industries – including aerospace, automotive, jewelry and even fashion – to provide innovative proprietary products of the highest quality. We see every new request as an opportunity to grow, and we never stop pushing until we find the best solution and bring forth the next great idea. This determination has led to our more than a dozen — and counting — patents. We believe the emergence and evolution of metal cards will continue to change our industry. Our products help our partners’ businesses grow by elevating the customer experience. A metal card complements any financial program for the high net worth and mass affluent audience by providing a superior tactile experience, making an impression and encouraging the cardholder to keep it top of wallet. They offer a tangible connection between card issuers and cardholders that sets the tone for a long-lasting relationship. “We see every new request as an opportunity to grow, and we never stop pushing until we find the best solution and bring forth the next great idea.
