AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG: Expands U.S. Footprint with New West Coast
Personalization Centre in Salt Lake City
Vienna, March 20, 2026
AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG (the “Company”) announces the upcoming opening of
its second U.S. personalization centre in Salt Lake City, expected in Q3
2026. This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in the
Company’s commitment to providing high-speed, secure card issuance for
financial institutions and fintech disruptors across North America.
Complementing the Company’s existing East Coast operations in New Jersey,
the new Salt Lake City facility further strengthens the Group’s ability to
serve its growing North American client base with speed, security, and
reliability. The budgeted investment is expected to reach up to US$2m. The
new personalization centre is expected to double the Group’s annual total
card personalization volume capacity in the U.S.
Key Strategic Capabilities of the New Facility
Strengthen Delivery Capability: The dual-facility model provides robust
geographic redundancy and increased production capacity to support the
rapid growth of neobanks and traditional financial issuers.
Enhance Service Levels: Both centres utilise state-of-the-art technology
to offer end-to-end card personalisation services, ensuring consistent,
premium quality across all U.S. operations.
Minimise Delivery Times: By establishing a West Coast hub, the company
significantly reduces shipping durations for western regions, ensuring
customers receive their personalised EMV cards faster than ever.
Excellence in Partnership: The Salt Lake City centre is the latest proof
point of the Company’s commitment to its partners — investing in
infrastructure that raises the bar on service and puts the client
experience first.
Manolis Kontos, Chairman of the Management Board and Group CEO, commented:
“The opening of our Salt Lake City centre is a defining moment in our U.S.
growth strategy. The U.S. represents one of the most dynamic and demanding
markets for card personalisation globally, and our commitment to it is
unwavering. By operating dual facilities across both coasts, we are not
only meeting the current needs of our partners – we are future-proofing
our infrastructure to support the next generation of digital banking,
fintech innovation, and issuer growth. Geographic redundancy is not just a
resilience measure – it is a service promise, enabling U.S. to guarantee
the fastest possible SLAs while maintaining the high security and quality
standards our clients depend on. This expansion is a direct expression of
our long-term vision: to be the most agile, secure, and strategically
positioned card services group in the markets we serve.“
