Card Testing International thanks all those who visited our stand co-hosted with our sister company MillenTech at Cards & Payments Middle East 2015 held last month at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. We saw a variety of visitors from the Banking & Card Manufacturing sectors wishing to learn more about independent card Quality Assurance that we provide from our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. With the trend in card issuers looking at extending card expiry dates, there was a lot of interest in ISO/IEC 24789 Card Service Life – the standard aiming to see whether cards are durable enough to last their period of issuance, and still work reliably.

We wish to offer special thanks to Anirudh Sharma of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, who introduced us to key stakeholders during the Expo, as we continue our reach out into the Middle East market. Mr. Sharma commented, "It was very interesting to learn of the fine technology which goes behind some of the testing and security functions provided by MillenTech to the financial services sector. Passion for the business was very obvious during interactions with Ron."

MillenTech-CTI Group are looking forward to returning to Dubai for future engagements over the coming year.
