"The combination with Bluehill ID offers us entry into the important RFID transponder technology market, strengthens our e-passport and national ID business, and helps us expand into important growth verticals and geographies," says Felix Marx, CEO of SCM. "The support of our stockholders demonstrates that they understand the important role that acquisitions play in our growth strategy as we work to build a leadership position in contactless technologies and identity management."

The deal is expected to close in early 2010.

"SCM and Bluehill ID are focused on the same markets and technologies. Each company complements the other's product portfolio, technology, market focus and regional strength," says Marx. "We expect the new, combined company to accelerate consolidation of the highly fragmented identity market and provide a stronger base for future growth."
