Toppan will acquire the Citizen ID business of HID Global Corporation, which is in turn owned by Sweden’s Assa Abloy. Although Assa Abloy is Swedish, HID Global is headquartered in the USA, and Toppan say they are acquiring it to expand their global security business in  South America, Africa, and other regions. HID Global has operations in Czech Republic, Ireland, France, Poland, Switzerland and the UK – although to what extent these businesses will now be split up is not yet clear.

The acquisition is part of Toppan’s goal to pursue US$326m of overseas acquisitions by the end of fiscal 2025, shifting its business focus from printing to security and packaging.  Toppan used its financial subsidiary set up in Singapore last year to secure stable financing for acquisitions and other investments for the acquisition of the CID business.
