Komori Corporation (Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO Satoshi Mochida) announced a major order for multiple banknote printing systems from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the U.S. Department of the Treasury bureau responsible for printing U.S. dollar banknotes.

This order was awarded following a comprehensive bidding evaluation process.

Komori’s involvement in the security printing industry began in 1958, when the company began manufacturing banknote printing presses for Japan. In the international market, Komori delivered banknote printing systems to Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited in the 1990s under the Reserve Bank of India and has been actively expanding its security printing business as a new initiative since 2010.

To date, Komori has supplied banknote printing systems to such prestigious institutions as the Bank of England, which issues the British pound, the Banque de France and Banca d’Italia, which serve as state-owned euro banknote printers, as well as central banks in Southeast Asian nations such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. Furthermore, Komori has delivered banknote printing equipment to countries in the Middle East and Africa, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Over the years, the company has steadily expanded its security printing business into one of its core operations.

In the previous fiscal year, Komori received an exceptionally high volume of inquiries.
