Oberthur Cash Protection & EURICPA Communicate
27.4.2011 10:45:40 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Patrice Rullier, Managing Director Oberthur Cash Protection, subsidiary of Oberthur Technologies, was re-elected Chairman of EURICPA -European Intelligent Cash Protection Association.
Based in Brussels, EURICPA was created in 2005 on Oberthur Cash Protection, Gehrer, Spinnaker, SQS and Villiger’s initiative. The association regroups the leading European manufacturers of intelligent solutions for secure cash transportation and storage.
Patrice Rullier has been re-elected Chairman of EURICPA to promote cash-in-transit technologies and increase awareness of the Public Authorities, professionals and the Media to the benefits of these technologies.
In fact, over the last 25 years, these technologies, based on a system of neutralisation of banknotes by staining, have proved their effectiveness in protecting cash and people and contributing overall to a decline in crime.
"EURICPA commits to pursue the promotion of these technologies towards the European Commission and the Central Bank. We will focus on two main objectives:
- reinforce the role of the IBNS industry with the member states and professionals- banks and cash-in-transit companies.
- help the public and businesses to keep a better watch over stained banknotes which “most likely are stolen ones””, commented Patrice Rullier.
Current Managing Director of Oberthur Cash Protection which he joined in May 2008, Patrice Rullier graduated from the Ecole de Management de Lyon and from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
He previously occupied the positions of Managing Director and Commercial & Marketing Director in a number of high technology companies such as Lectra Systèmes, Atari, CryoNetworks and ViaMichelin.
He has a wealth of experience in international environments, giving him excellent knowledge of European markets.

What is EURICPA?
Created in 2005, EURICPA (European Intelligent Cash Protection Association) represents the European manufacturers of solutions for secure cash transportation by staining technologies: 3SI, Gehrer AG, Oberthur Cash Protection, Spinnaker, SQS and Villiger Security.
The Association is made up of Members, who are manufacturers of solutions covering the full range of secure cash transportation by neutralisation technologies using an indelible dye.
In case of an attempted attack or theft, the IBNS technology - Intelligence Banknote Neutralisation System- will automatically spread an indelible ink over all valuable media and mark them as stolen, rendering them valueless.
By vastly reducing the attractiveness of the crime, the indelible dye acts as a deterrent to potential thieves robbing cash-in-transit. This is proven to greatly reduce attack rates, the amounts of cash stolen and serious injuries to guards.
