“Our development team is currently working on the production machine which will manufacture the display cards,” reports Olov Holst, executive vice-president of Swats. “The production process is patented. We are in negotiation with some of the largest card manufacturers in the world regarding a license agreement, and plan mass production of the Swat DisplayCard to start in 2004.”
The first project will be a bank card that allows customers to see their balance and transaction record.
