With a current global annual capacity of 9 billion RFID inlays and tags, Tageos can already produce more than 2 billion units per year in the heart of the fast-growing American market. By the end of 2024, Tageos’ new Fletcher, NC manufacturing facility will have expanded its capacity by another 2 billion units to a total of more than 4 billion units per year.
The new site will enable the company to produce innovative RAIN RFID (UHF) and HF/NFC products with the highest ARC-certified quality and performance in high volumes. RFID has gained momentum in the U.S. in recent years as major customers have begun or expanded their widespread adoption and implementation of RFID.
With the opening of the plant in Fletcher, Tageos has fully implemented the plans it presented just over a year ago. The company had announced its intention to internationalize and expand its production infrastructure by opening two new sites - Fletcher, USA and Guangzhou, China - and at the same time expanding production capacities at its headquarters in Montpellier (France).
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Chris Hykin, Tageos Inc. GM, said: " Our new facility is another strong pillar within the Tageos family and our global manufacturing network. It brings us even closer to our customers in the U.S. and all regions of the world, enabling us to even better support them with fast, highly efficient and sustainable delivery capabilities for high performance products and improved customer services.”
