IHMA Continues Strategic Diversification with New Name

As part of its ongoing strategy to broaden its scope and realign its identity to better serve evolving markets and new technology frontiers, the International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) has initiated a renaming process. This marks a pivotal moment for the association as it continues to evolve alongside the holography and optical security industries.

Three new name alternatives have been selected:

• Global Optical Technologies Association
• International Optical Technologies Association
• Global OVD Association

These options have been shared with members through email and social media, inviting them to participate in selecting the final name.

This strategic initiative is part of a broader plan that began in early 2024, which includes significant developments such as the launch of the Security Image Register (SIR), new research and development collaborations, leadership changes with the appointment of new board members and the expansion of membership to all security OVD suppliers.
