Gemplus International is a leading provider of hardware such as smart cards and card readers. It was acquired by Texas Pacific GRP in the year 2000. Last June 2, 2006, Gemplus International merged with its rival company Axalto, a smart card and terminal manufacturer and major supplier worldwide, to start a company known as Gemalto, which is now a worldwide leader in digital security. Axalto covers a wide range of services in different markets worldwide including telecommunications, financing, retailing, transportation, health, identification, and information technology. It was first known as Smart Card and Terminal Department of Schlumberger until Schlumberger merged with Sema and it became Schlumbergersema. Around early 2004, Schlumberger sold Sema to the Atos Origin Company; the company then changed its name to Axalto and is now known as Gemalto, which is the result of the merging of Gemplus with Axalto.

Gemalto provides new products to offer modern citizens with convenient services, such as connecting to wireless networks, online shopping, travel with e-passports, and other extensive services for the modern generations.
