As the first company in Japan, LECIP CORPORATION (Motosu-City, Gifu, Japan, President: Makoto Sugimoto), a consolidated subsidiary of LECIP HOLDINGS CORPORATION (Motosu-City, Gifu, Japan, President: Makoto Sugimoto), is developing and manufacturing a smartcard reader/writer aimed for the overseas fixed-route bus market. The smartcard reader/writer will be installed on fare boxes for buses and is used for reading smart cards.

Type A and B are the most wide-spread communication systems for contactless smartcards in Europe and North America, whereas type C is standard in Japan. To further strengthen overseas competitiveness, LECIP Group is currently sharing knowledge of smartcard reader/writers with their Swedish subsidiary, and has started the development of type A and B readers in their main factory in Gifu, Japan. As a result of this transfer, LECIP will be able to concentrate the manufacturing of contactless smartcard readers (type A, B and C) for both overseas and domestic market to one place.

Striving to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the markets, LECIP Group will continue to work on solutions to shorten lead time of product development by improving efficiency in research and development.
