Could you tell us about Gemalto?
Didier Lo Nobile
The poduct of a merger in 2007 between a company of French origin, Gemplus, and Axalto, a division of Schlumberger, Gemalto is the world number one in digital security, which can be in the form of objects, software or services, in areas as diverse as wiring, identification – we are talking about biometric passports – security, with bank cards, or even health, with the Carte Vitale [the French health insurance card]. The group, which has over 11,000 employees, has over 75 sites and is present in a hundred countries, achieved a turnover of €840m in the first six months, a sum which does not take into account the acquisition, in June, of Cinterion Wireless Modules, a German company which provides wireless communication modules for industrial machine-to-machine use and whose turnover rose to €145m in 2009. Gemalto is listed on Euronext, in section A, its stock is listed on the SPF 120 index and the market capitalisation was €2.8b on 21 October 2010.
