Netherlands-based IAI industrial systems said it has won a new order from the Algerian Ministry of the Interior for supply of passport personalization systems.

The Algerian Ministry of the Interior has ordered two IAI BookMaster One latest generation machines and one laminator module, in order to renew the non-biometric Algerian passports before 25 November 2015. The systems will be supplied this year.

In the past, IAI has already delivered two BookMaster One systems and one machine for the application of ImagePerf and NumberPerf for the production of Algerian biometric passports.

BookMaster One systems perform the entire personalization of the passport in one pass through the machine including verification of all operations performed.

Thus, the systems turn blank books, inserted in the machine, into fully personalized passports ready for issuing.

The BookMaster One has a modular setup which enables customers to procure and employ the total functionality of the systems or parts of it, all at once or in phases.

As a leading equipment supplier to the Security Printing market, IAI industrial systems supplies systems for securing and/or personalization of passports, ID-cards, driver licenses, banknotes, diplomas and other security documents.

IAI's systems are in use in many countries such as: Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland, UK, Sweden, China, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, Portugal, Estonia, Costa Rica, Poland, Morocco, South Africa, Bulgaria, Algeria, India, Uzbekistan and Thailand.

IAI also offers laser processing systems for special industrial applications.
