ITSA Welcomes New Members and Board

With three new companies recently added to the growing membership base of the International Tax Stamp Association (ITSA), the total number of members now stands at 28 – the highest level yet!

The three new members are HP Indigo Secure, Hungarian Banknote Printing Company, and Canadian Bank Note Company.

ITSA has also appointed a new chairman and two new directors to the board.

The two new directors are Stefaan D’Hoore of Luminescence Sun Chemical Security, and Tim McIntyre of Canadian Bank Note Company, who join Ruggero Milanese of SICPA, Zbigniew Sagan of Advanced Track & Trace, Tim Driscoll of Authentix and Marietta Ulrich-Horn of Securikett.

Juan Carlos Yañez Arenas of Thomas Greg & Sons, one of the 10 founding members of ITSA, has stepped down as director, a role he has held since ITSA was formed, in 2015. Juan Carlos was also the association’s first chairman, and ITSA expresses its gratitude to Juan Carlos for his valued contribution towards building up the association throughout the years.

ITSA has also appointed a new chairman, Zbigniew Sagan, who has been on the board since 2015. Zbigniew replaces Gerben van Wijk, formerly of Luminescence Sun Chemical Security, and chairman of ITSA since 2022.
