From our nation’s earliest days, ABCorp has been a trusted force in security and innovation. In 1795, the federally chartered Bank of the United States entrusted American Bank Note Company with the mission of producing counterfeit-resistant currency for the young Republic. That legacy established ABCorp as a pioneer in secure printing and shaped our evolution into a global leader in secure manufacturing. What began with protecting America’s financial foundation now drives cutting-edge solutions that safeguard organizations worldwide.
Today, ABCorp operates at the intersection of authentication, payments, and secure access, embracing next-generation (including additive 3D) manufacturing to meet the demands of a digitally driven world. With more than 230 years of expertise, no one understands secure manufacturing and authentication better — or has done it longer. We maintain global reach and compliance across eight locations worldwide and are trusted by fintechs, financial institutions, healthcare companies, governments, and brands in more than 120 countries. We deliver end-to-end innovation through high-security, state-of-the-art facilities that incubate advancements in payments, secure access, and additive manufacturing.
