SmartMetric announced it has leased a manufacturing plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina where it plans to manufacture fingerprint activated smart cards. These cards are being developed with industries such as banking, medical insurance and government or other high-security identification industries in mind.

In addition to opening up the potential for quick deployment to South American countries as well as easy export to Europe, Asia Pacific, Central America and North America, the new plant marks a change in the company where it will be able to move from a business model centered around product research and development and move into product manufacturing.
