innovator in technology. His engagement as a consultant to the

experience that will aid in the growth and market position of our

always been with us and the impact of its growth is accelerating.
The need for an accurate high-speed identification of goods as
original in quality and source is equally critical. None of the
traditional technologies of identification of goods is sufficient
to perform these functions. True Product ID has taken a different
tack to open the opportunity for true validation and verification,"
