We continue to gain share in Crane Currency, winning a total of 20 new denominations with our leading micro-optics technology in 2025, and we further solidified our position as a trusted technology leader in the global authentication market with the creation of Crane Authentication.
“In Q4, we closed on our initial equity investment in Antares Vision, expanding our portfolio to the attractive Life Sciences and Food & Beverage sectors, and are on track to complete the acquisition in 2026.”
“As we look ahead, with the investments to upgrade our U.S. Currency equipment completed, we are excited for the anticipated launch of the new U.S. $10 banknote later this year, and are well-positioned to accelerate growth in 2026 and deliver durable, long‑term value for our shareholders.”
