ABNH | About ABNH

American Bank Note Holographics, Inc. (ABNH) is a world leader in the design, production and marketing of security holograms that authenticate valuable documents and products. ABNH security devices are used to protect a wide range of products and documents including most major transaction cards, secure documents issued by the United States and other governments, pharmaceuticals and other valuable consumer and industrial products.

The need for better security for documents and products continues to escalate as new imaging and printing technologies have made it easier for criminals and terrorists to counterfeit a wide variety of products and documents of value. The security devices that ABNH designs and produces provide an effective deterrent to counterfeiting since they are extremely difficult to copy and are easily recognizable. ABNH combines its world class holographic origination capabilities with proprietary applications to create effective solutions to combat the increasing worldwide problems of counterfeiting, tampering, diversion and fraud.

ABNH maintains its corporate headquarters and its principal manufacturing operations in Robbinsville, New Jersey. In addition, ABNH also maintains a production facility in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania.
