Kurz Scribos supports BMW Group to enhance protection against counterfeit spare parts

Counterfeit spare parts pose a serious challenge to the automotive industry, affecting vehicle performance, increasing maintenance costs and creating potential safety risks. In response, an advanced security solution developed under the Kurz Scribos brand has been introduced in collaboration with the BMW Group, specifically designed to protect original spare parts.

In close cooperation, the team behind Kurz Scribos products and the BMW Group launched the first digitally verifiable hologram strip on the market. This innovation integrates highly advanced holographic security to provide an unprecedented level of protection. The digitally verifiable hologram strip will help safeguard the BMW Group’s extensive global spare parts network, which includes more than 40 million parts in circulation. This high security feature can only be verified by trained experts using a dedicated authentication app, ensuring an additional layer of protection against counterfeiting.

The digitally verifiable hologram strip is a breakthrough in anti-counterfeiting technology, offering an entirely new level of security for original spare parts. This innovative feature combines cutting edge holographic security with advanced digital verification, ensuring that their parts can only be authenticated by trained experts.

Key features of the hologram strip include:

• High security holographic technology, incorporating Kurz’s advanced foil materials for maximum protection.

• Dynamic optical effects, which shift under specific lighting conditions, making unauthorised reproduction impossible.

• Multi-layered security elements, including microtext and covert markers, detectable only with expert verification tools.

• Seamless integration with a dedicated authentication app, ensuring that only authorised professionals can confirm authenticity.

Designed exclusively for expert use, this advanced security solution adds a new layer of protection against counterfeiters, making it impossible for them to replicate or manipulate the verification process.

The digitally verifiable hologram strip ensures that only genuine parts are used and distributed.
