Counterfeit spare parts pose a serious challenge to the automotive industry, affecting vehicle performance, increasing maintenance costs and creating potential safety risks. In response, an advanced security solution developed under the Kurz Scribos brand has been introduced in collaboration with the BMW Group, specifically designed to protect original spare parts.
This is the first digitally verifiable hologram strip on the market. This innovation integrates Kurz holographic security to provide an unprecedented level of protection. The digitally verifiable hologram strip will help safeguard the BMW Group’s extensive global spare parts network, which includes more than 40 million parts in circulation. This high-security feature can only be verified by trained experts using a dedicated authentication app, ensuring an additional layer of protection against counterfeiting.
