BG Ingnierie
BG INGENIERIE is a family run company. Our parents started in 1999 with the aim to be active on
smart card market for small card production and small equipment (production, test). The result is what
BG INGENIERIE is today: a worldwide leading supplier in particular in test equipment for cards and passports.
Through the years, BG INGENIERIE got recognition from the card and passport actors to become a leader in
equipment development, following norms (cards, passports) or following specific customer requirements
(laboratory card production, specific vision inspection, inlay modification, RFID robot tester, and many more).
Getting the name BG INGENIERIE known worldwide was a real challenge but we achieved it in particular
thanks to our customers and partners.
We thank you all for your trust in our products, for your trust in our developments, and as we always say:
Future is linked with our customers and their new requirements.... yours.
Warmest regards
The first activity and core business of BG INGENIERIE has been supplying smart cards in different
fields: loyalty, membership, logical access cards, prototypes (contact, bi-techno cards) and small
runs for the big card players, not equipped with small series card manufacturing equipment.
BGI EQUIPMENT
Card manufacturing: To meet the increasing demands of those small series in production as in
lab prototypes, BG INGENIERIE develops and sells small production line, with manual feeding
based on the 3 main card production steps: card milling, chip punching and chip implanting.
Card testing: With the success met for this new market products, BG INGENIERIE carries on development
increasing throughput of those small desktop production devices, and jumped into the durability
card testing world for CQM, ANSI, ISO10373, ISO24789, EMV norms (bending, torsion, 3 wheels...).
Specific development: In 2008, BG INGENIERIE launches a new activity based on specific customer
equipment developments around cards, inlays, e-passports, readers and e-ID documents.
2011: BG INGENIERIE joins ICMA association and launches its first automatic
chip implanting and card milling equipment.

Our expertise
In 1999, BG INGENIERIE entered the card market supplying chip implanting services for small volumes of
cards (from 1 card to 10k cards), and based on reactivity and quick deliveries. In order to realise those
sometimes very specific productions, we developed a series of manual desktop equipment, fitting the
world of small and medium series: simple and compact devices (chip punching, card milling and chip
implanting).
A first production line with throughput of 200 cards per hour was revealed during Cartes 2003 exhibition.
Some 10 years later, BG INGENIERIE has upgraded several times the throughput of the equipment, and now
offers solutions producing 1 million, 2 million cards per year and more...
Our specialty remains desktop elements but the combination of several small equipment allows you to
easily increase production capacity to 1000, 1500 cards per hour, keeping flexibility of production.
One of the best example: our production lab is today equipped with 2 chip punching machines, 1 SIM-GSM
punching machine, 2 milling machines and 2 chip implanting machines, giving us a capacity production of
more than 2 million cards per year.
In 2011, BG INGENIERIE launches its first automatic equipment: chip implanting equipment and card milling
equipment, with a throughput of 1500 units/h.
BG INGENIERIE proposes other manufacturing equipment such as GSM-SIM punch, chip on reel programming
and card programming machines, hotmelt tape laminator...

quality: CQM, MasterCard recommendations, ANSI 322, ISO7816, ISO10373, ISO24789, etc... paper norms
dedicated to card quality. It is sometimes not easy to figure out which test has to be applied to each type of
cards.
BG INGENIERIE already works with the biggest players in card industry and is here to fulfill customer demands
and supply testing devices for these norms, or for specific requirements.

Specific development
Our expertise
BG INGENIERIE has created a new activity in 2006 based on specific customer demands of small and me-
dium size equipment based around product modification, testing, validation of cards, e-passports, inlays,
etc...
With this new activity, BG INGENIERIE gives a good example of its capability and competence to develop
tailor made equipment.
In year 2013, BG INGENIERIE as been awarded French national Price of Technological Innovation after sub-
mitting an equipment developped under this activity.
Advantages
Can be used to realise some RFID card tests, e-passport tests, reader tests, interoperability between
