Meet The Team – David Franklin

Meet The Team – David Franklin – bringing more than 30 years of smart card expertise to Oasys Technologies.
David began his career in the semiconductor industry during the mid-1980s, working with California-based memory specialist Xicor Inc. and Siemens Semiconductors in Munich—now Infineon Technologies.
His time at Siemens introduced him to the emerging world of smart cards. In a series of technical and international sales roles, David built relationships with card manufacturers, financial institutions, telecom providers and PayTV operators. He also supported the deployment of pioneering programmes including the Boots Advantage Card, BT Phonecards and MULTOS banking and security solutions.
David later joined German smart card and RFID start-up ACG AG, establishing its UK office and developing the company’s business across the UK and Ireland. Over eight years, he built a diverse customer base and helped increase sales from €250,000 to €10 million.
Following ACG’s acquisition by ASSA ABLOY and integration into HID Global, David became Sales Director within its Cards and Inlays Business Unit. He led international sales to major card manufacturers, systems integrators and scheme operators, supplying high-volume inlays and prelaminates to the banking and transportation markets.
Today, David brings this extensive technical, commercial and market knowledge to Oasys Technologies. His experience gives him a valuable perspective on the needs of card manufacturers and the production systems required to serve them.
As Oasys continues to develop its presence across the global Security and ID markets, David is helping the company build strong customer relationships and deliver innovative, dependable card-production solutions.
