Trüb AG

Trüb AG was a Swiss company headquartered in Aarau that specialized in identification and security solutions. Founded in 1859, the company originally built its reputation in the printing of value and security papers, an activity it carried on from 1892 until 2005. It later refocused on the development, manufacture, and personalization of cards and identity documents, becoming a supplier of state credentials such as identity cards, driving licences, data pages for passports, and the SuisseID card introduced in 2010. Its portfolio also covered bank and customer cards including Swisspass, access and admission solutions, health cards and healthcare professional credentials, and tachograph cards. In addition, Trüb developed and produced chip-card operating systems such as CombOS. In the identity document segment, Trüb supplied more than 30 states across four continents. In the financial sector, its customers included various financial institutions, among them in Switzerland UBS, Postfinance, all cantonal banks, and Cornèr Bank. At the time of the Gemalto takeover, Trüb and Gemalto together employed 330 staff, of whom 300 were based in Switzerland. In April 2015, the business activities of Trüb AG were taken over by the Dutch Gemalto group and transferred to a newly formed Gemalto AG. The Trüb AG brand therefore ceased to operate as an independent entity, and its identification and security solutions were absorbed into Gemalto's global portfolio. The generic domain trueb.ch is now presented as an address available for acquisition rather than as the company's active corporate site.

Trüb AG was founded in 1859 in Switzerland. From 1892 to 2005, the company was active in the printing of value and security papers, a heritage that gave it deep expertise in security printing. It later divested this business segment in order to concentrate on card production and personalization. Over time, Trüb developed a portfolio centered on identification and security solutions, including the development, manufacture, and personalization of state identity documents such as identity cards, driving licences, and data pages for passports. In 2010, it introduced the SuisseID card. The company also produced bank and customer cards, including Swisspass, as well as access and admission solutions, health cards and healthcare professional credentials, and tachograph cards. It developed and produced chip-card operating systems such as CombOS. Trüb supplied identity documents to more than 30 states on four continents and served financial institutions including UBS, Postfinance, all cantonal banks, and Cornèr Bank in Switzerland. In April 2015, the business activities of Trüb AG were taken over by the Dutch Gemalto group and transferred to a new Gemalto AG. At that time, Trüb and Gemalto together employed 330 staff, 300 of them in Switzerland. Following the takeover, Trüb AG ceased to exist as an independent company, and its operations were integrated into Gemalto.
