The global trade in counterfeit and smuggled goods is an industry worth many billions
of US dollars. Funds gained from this illicit trade are known to support serious
organized crime and terrorist organizations.
The effects on industries and the businesses that operate within them can be devastating,
and cause huge losses in tax revenue to governments.
Alcohol, cigarettes and pharmaceuticals are just three of the many products that
are often counterfeited or smuggled across borders without the required tax being
paid.
At Gopsons, we have developed a range of leading tax stamp security and authentication
systems which enable governments to protect their revenues and ensure the safety
of products entering their geographic boundaries.
By utilizing multiple technology platforms, we offer government customers:
- Overt optical technologies, such as high security print and advanced holography.
- Convert and forensic technologies
