Founded in 1974, Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Fargo Electronics, Inc. is a global leader in the development of secure technologies for identity card issuance systems, including secure ID card printer/encoders, materials and software. With a 30-plus year track record of success, Fargo posted revenues of $81 million in 2005.
The company has sold more than 120,000 systems in the US and over 80 other countries worldwide. Fargo card issuance systems reduce vulnerabilities and the potential loss of time, money and lives by continually improving the security of identity credentials.
Customers of our card identity systems create personalized cards for a wide variety of applications including:
All Products are NEW, factory sealed and come with the FULL manufacturer's warranty (unless otherwise specified).
Fargo is the only manufacturer to offer three distinct printing technologies: High Definition Printing™ (reverse image) for high-level security and large applications especially when smart cards are used; Direct-to-Card (dye-sublimation), the most commonly used ID card technology for low- to mid-level security applications; and CardJet™ printing, a familiar inkjet technology for low-level security and entry-level applications.
Fargo's developmental approach allows easy integration of new technologies into existing systems, so that they function at the highest, most efficient level possible. It also invests significant resources in product development and now has 70 patents issued or approved, with 60+ additional patent applications pending in the U.S.
Fargo markets and sells products through a distribution channel of independent distributors and professional integrators dedicated to providing ongoing sales and service for Fargo systems in the identification and security industries.
