ASPA Global Information

Authentication Solution Providers' Association (ASPA) is a self-regulated non-profit organization of authentication solution providers globally. Formerly known as Hologram Manufacturers Association of India (HoMAI), it was founded in 1998 as only the second Association in the world representing holography. The Association has now been re-launched in 2014 as ASPA to more accurately represent the transformation of products and services offered by its existing member companies. The broader scope of ASPA also covers a wide array of other authentication technologies that have evolved over the years. As the world’s first and only industry body of its kind, ASPA aims to comprehensively cover the broader interests of the entire authentication solutions industry worldwide, including, but not limited to, holograms, optically variable devices (OVD’s), taggants, security inks and substrates, watermarks, nanotechnologies, RFIDs, barcode/ QR code-based digital tracking and verification solutions, security and tamper-evident labels and any other brand protection and authentication solutions. ASPA works closely with world-leading peers and authorities such as International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA), Counterfeit Intelligence Bureau (CIB) and Interpol. ASPA members protect over 10,000 brands worldwide through the identification of genuine products and documents. ASPA formulates policy guidelines to encourage adoption of best practices, quality standards and usage of advanced technology to provide truly customised, cost-effective and consistently reliable solutions. It also actively analyses industry trends and provides updates on global news, knowledge resources and best practices to its members. Members are bound by the ASPA Code of Conduct to ensure that they observe high standards of integrity and business ethics at all times.
