A Moon Landing Launch of Nanoswitch™

On 20 July 1969, more than 500 million people worldwide watched the Moon landing, the ‘great leap for mankind’ – a technical feat that opened new horizons for humanity.

55 years later, IQ Structures (IQS) and Hueck Folien have paid homage to this historic event with a unique design to ring in a new era of banknote security stripe solutions – Nanoswitch™, which was launched at the Banknote Conference in Fort Worth, Texas in May.

In a highly entertaining presentation, against a backdrop of the iconic David Bowie soundtrack of ‘Ground Control to Major Tom’, the presentation was given by Michael Ritschewald, Business Development Manager at Hueck Folien, and Robert Dvořak, Managing Director of IQS.

The two companies also announced Nanovista™, the brand name for a portfolio of high security features which will be launched by IQS and Hueck Folien, Nanoswitch being the first.
