G+D Continues Growth Story

Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) achieved record revenue in 2024, continuing its growth trajectory.

The security technology company reported its highest ever turnover of €3.132 billion, reflecting a 5% organic growth compared to 2023. Order intake also reached an all-time high of €3.3 billion, and profitability improved by 6%.

G+D’s portfolio consists of integrated physical and digital solutions covering three core areas: digital security, financial platforms, and currency technology.

While many people know G+D for producing banknote paper and printing currency, it has also been working with security printing partners, for several years, in the product authentication market. For instance, over 1 billion packages in the pharmaceutical sector have been secured using G+D technologies.

Some of its product authentication solutions include SIGN® technology, which is based on micro-optics. SIGN can be combined with another G+D feature, MOVE™ (Micro Oriented Variable Effect), to create additional dynamic effects, bold colours, and relief-style embossing.
