Crane NXT has announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire OpSec Security. Tracing their history back 200 years, Crane NXT is a trusted partner to governments and leading brands worldwide and offers unique technologies that deliver enhanced solutions to secure, detect, and authenticate their customers’ most important assets. Subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, this will result in OpSec becoming part of Crane NXT later this year.

Bringing together a unique portfolio of technology platforms.
We recognize that the authenticity and integrity of most brands are built and sustained by many factors. Product brands have taken on greater cultural significance and rely as much on their aspirational value as their function. Providers of intangible value, in the form of media, technology, utilities, or financial services, depend upon trust in their services and reputation. OpSec uniquely combines physical and digital technologies, designed to build and protect the world’s most recognizable and valuable brands. We believe this offers brands a more connected approach that helps them reconcile objectives and address risks across their different activities and functions.
