With the sale of Cash Systems in September 2008, the transformation of the Group is complete. For the first time in many years, De La Rue is focused on meeting the needs of a shared set of customers in the high value areas of currency, security printing, authentication and identity.

Now that the Group has been transformed to a focused business, its future strategy is to build on its position as a world-leading producer of banknotes and banknote paper to become the premier supplier to central banks, governments and international corporations of security features and authentication systems used in payment and identity transactions. These are the markets for Currency (including Cash Processing Solutions), Security Products and Identity Systems.

This focus distinguishes the De La RueGroup from its competitors. The strategy for an integrated

De La Rue flows from its core strengths of reputation, customer relationships and innovation. Leveraging these across the individual businesses, while continuing both to drive productivity and to invest in capability, will enable the Group to maximise the opportunities presented by its markets.

De La Rue’s products and services address problems, such as sophisticated counterfeiting and global terrorism. The solutions provided by the Group have to meet an absolute standard: delivering certainty for its customers by providing the best solutions in currency, security printing, authentication and identity.
