Ultra Electronics Card Systems and CS Technologies announce a strategic distribution and support partnership, to extend the reach of Ultra’s Magicard ID card printers into Australia and South-East Asia.

As a leading access control provider to many of Australia’s top corporations since 1987, CS Technologies is well positioned to sell the Magicard ID card printers alongside its existing security products.

Ted Whelan, Global Sales Director for Ultra, said “With the new low-cost Magicard Alto ID card printer, CS Technologies and Ultra have a product that is ideally suited for small and medium sites. This means that our customers can start small and move up to the Rio, Tango and Prima high-capacity ID card printers as their businesses grow”.

“CS Technologies has always taken pride in being involved in quality technical support and the sale of professionally manufactured product. With this partnership we feel both corporate aims will be achieved” stated Chris Fitzpatrick, Managing Director of CS Technologies.

CS will act as a support centre for Australasia, providing technical support, dealer support, and service to security specialists and end-users across the region.

Both printers feature simple dyefilm loading using a drop-in cassette, and blank cards packed in convenient dispensers.
