Inform P. Lykos S.A. was assigned the project of the Printing and Fulfillment of the insurance stamps for the Social Insurance Institute (IKA). IKA is the largest Social Security Organisation in Greece. It covers 5,530,000 workers and employees and provides 830,000 pensioners with retirement pension.

In the national tender that took place, where other companies such as GREKIS and DELTA SINGULAR participated, Inform Lykos obtained the highest score. The project's budget is 1.168.000 euro. The contract will last 12 months, and it is going to start in July 2004.

More analytically, the difficulty of the project is that the insurance stamps have a lot of special security characteristics (holograms, special backgrounds, invisible inks, micro printing) and the categorization, packaging and delivery is done per employer/insured in a strictly limited time period.

As Nikos Fournogerakis, Public Sector Sales Director, stated "the main requirement for the implementation of the project is the combination of high quality, reliability and speed of the following departments: Printing, Application of Security Characteristics, Overprinting of Variable Data, Categorization, Packaging and Distribution. Inform Lykos is a leading company in the above sectors, and provides all the guarantees for the implementation of such complex projects".
