Passport Machine

The world leader in passport finishing machinery


With about 70-80% market share we are the world leader for passport finishing machinery. The four independent machines for the complete finishing process can be easily configured for all known types of passports. Since the introduction of e-passports with RFID chips for biometrical data, we have designed and successfully installed corresponding machine modules in existing and new machinery and have gained vast experience.

PassPort 1 Machine

The PassPort 1 Machine binds passport or saving books by collating and sewing together different components. The Machine is equipped with sewing machines for chain and/or interlock stitching.
