Giving Mobility a Smart and Secure Future

As a technology and systems provider, TÖNNJES is a global leader in the field of vehicle identification. The product range can be split into the EVI (electronic vehicle identification), software, security solutions and production technology segments. From manufacturing licence plates to creating a central licence register, the company handles every step when it comes to successfully and securely identifying vehicles.

With the RFID-based IDePLATE system, TÖNNJES has developed an electronic security licence plate that protects against manipulation and fraud whilst, at the same time, enabling smart applications. TÖNNJES products are already in use in many countries around the globe. The company generates 100 percent of its revenue from transactions abroad.

To give vehicles around the globe an identity, to create a system between the authorities and drivers and to make the entire thing as secure and modern as possible – that is TÖNNJES’s mission. The growing number of cars, motorbikes, lorries and transport trolleys that are on the move on roads around the world is a major challenge for cities and municipalities.

In order to create and maintain order and security, TÖNNJES offers tailored solutions for vehicle identification made in Germany, which can also be integrated into existing systems.

Security License Plates, Vehicle Identification & Registration

As one of the leading suppliers worldwide of security license plates as well as vehicle registration and identification systems, the Tönnjes Group focuses on the customer-specific development of international vehicle registration systems through its export companies for protecting the vehicle registration as well as subsequent identification of the “national vehicle fleet” against attempts at manipulation, counterfeiting and theft.

TÖNNJES runs more than 50 branches and joint ventures in Europe, Africa, Asia, North America and South America. By establishing local manufacturing and distribution companies, the company is able to act as a service provider for the respective regulatory authorities or traffic police.
