Hogier Gartner, who are they?

Unfortunately their website is offline but here is some info on how many cards they produce......

The Nilson report of 2016 gives the following figures for sales in 2015;

10.8 million Payment cards

The Nilson report of 2015 gives some info on their financial cards as listed below from 2014;

Total payment card shipments 18.1 million, made up of;
14.4 million Visa and Master cards
1.0 million Other high security cards inc ATM and PIN
2.8 million Other payment cards

The Nilson report of 2013 also lists financial cards but also lists other cards that Hogier produced from 2012;

Telephone prepayment and non payment cards
2.5 million Prepaid/gift cards
280 million Prepaid phone cards
6.4 million Non payment cards

They are not even lose to being the biggest in the world and rank 45th according to the 2016 Nilson report, with the number one Gemalto being 26 times larger and the number two Oberthur being ten times larger. They seem to sell largely to the South American market. It's a shame we aren't in bed with one of the more major players but it's a start.

Also, a couple of non-English websites that have been translated by Google here and here.
