Bangladeshi passports from Poland
 (12-04-2010)

In February 2010 PWPW S.A. and its partners were awarded the procurement to supply 6.6 million passports and 1.5 million visa stickers for Bangladesh.

 

The international tender to supply a complete system for issuing machine-readable passports and visa stickers for Bangladesh was announced in 2009 by the Department of Immigration and Passports of Bangladeshi Ministry of Home Affairs. The bidders included the leading global producers of security documents and IT solutions providers. In February the successful bidder was selected: the consortium of Malaysian IRIS Corporation Berhad, PWPW S.A. and a Bengali company Dataedge.

PWPW S.A. has been entrusted with the task to supply 6.6 million machine-readable passport booklets (MRP) and one and a half million machine-readable visa stickers (MRV) within three upcoming years.

- Production of documents, issuance systems and secured paper for export have been permanently inscribed in the strategy of PWPW S.A. We have already achieved in this field a few notable successes - says Andrzej Bogun, member of the comapny’s Management Board.

In 2009 PWPW S.A. delivered 350 tons of security paper for Turkish passports. Since the beginning of 2008 PWPW has been manufacturing biometric passport booklets for the Republic of Lithuania (over 700 thousand pieces in total) and has also delivered a complete biometric passport personalization system. In June 2009 PWPW experts implemented an Extended Access Control (EAC) mechanism in the System for Personalization of Biometric Passports for the Republic of Lithuania so as to make it possible for Lithuania to issue passports with fingerprints.

PWPW S.A. is a joint-stock company, wholly owned by the State Treasury.
