Feig Expands U.S. Operations, With an Eye Toward NFC

Feig Electronics a manufacturer of RFID readers, antennas and passive RFID tags, expects major growth in the electronic-payment market in the United States, following a trend already underway in Europe. To that end, the company is preparing for the growth to follow by relocating its U.S. headquarters to a new, larger facility—dedicated to sales, marketing and technical support—and by increasing its production capacity in Europe. The German company manufactures low-frequency (LF), high-frequency (HF) and ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) passive RFID tags and readers for supply chain management, retail, health-care and payment applications, and has seen some growth in all of those area.
