1.	Corporate Background

In 1999, when Evolis Card Printer came into existence, Emmanuel Picot, Evolis’ CEO, Cécile Bélanger, Vice-President, Didier Godard, Yves Liatard and Serge Olivier, co-founders, were not on uncharted ground. They had all worked previously for a US manufacturer of plastic card printers, with operations in France. Together, the five of them left this company to set up Evolis Card Printer, and leveraged their combined experience in plastic card printing and complementary skills.

During its initial years, Evolis Card Printer focused on deploying a global distribution network and on designing a range of card printers. The Evolis card printers were initially adopted by tier-one players in the retail industry, and by leading financial institutions (South Korean, in particular). This helped Evolis Card Printer gain a flying start. In 2006, to extend and revamp its manufacturing platform and expand globally, Evolis Card Printer went public on the Alternext stock exchange.

Evolis card printers are designed and assembled near Angers, France. In 2012, 91% of Evolis products were sold in the export market.
