For decades now, Rinas has been setting standards in magnetic strip technology and the handling of cards and tickets. For our customers, this means a high level of productivity with an excellent cost-benefit ratio. Which basically means they hold all the trumps on both the domestic and international market.

Since 1984, Rinas has been serving the OEM, card manufacturing and system integration markets with very high quality magnetic card reading and writing devices. Knowledge gained from working within the Standards committee combined with hands-on experience obtained from studying magnetic card processes, has made Rinas what it is today – an ideas foundry and the leading authority on magnetic encoding and analysis. Today, the Rinas technologies are shipped to large systems houses worldwide where the competence, experience and the dependability of the corporation can be relied upon.
