ABnote, a leading global card manufacturer and provider of financial and secure credentialing solutions, announced that eight employees have successfully passed the ICMA (International Card Manufacturers Association) ACE-M examination. This rigorous exam covers general card manufacturing processes, and is made up of multiple sections related to card materials and processes.  Applicants for an ACE certification must have a minimum of two years experience working in the card industry and participate in an interactive training session.

ABnote employees who have been awarded the ACE-M certification are Jim Ellis, Brian Nester, Cheryl Bacon, Deb McGee, Rahul Reddy, Jorge Ojeda, Joe Mandile and Praful Patel.   They join other ABnote employees  who have previously passed the examination, including  Wayne Harte, and Lynn McDevitt who has received both the ACE-M and ACE-P certification.  Ms McDevitt is one of only three people in the industry to hold both certifications.

"ABnote congratulates everyone who has achieved this certification," says Keith Goldstein, ABnote North America CEO.
