Integrity & Reputation
Like our customers, 3M understands that our reputation and brands are our most valuable assets, and that they are earned over the long term. 3M has a long history of ethical conduct, and we are ranked third in Harris Interactive's 2006 Reputation Quotient poll. In short, we have as much riding on our reputation as you do.
Innovation & Technology
Innovation is part of 3M's culture. Our customers observe 3M Innovation when we partner with them to find truly customized solutions to fit their unique needs. We understand that every customer's security program is unique, and we bring the broad and constantly evolving technology portfolio and capabilities of 3M and our selected partners to help meet those unique challenges. 3M invests over $1.5 billion in R&D annually, and our customers enjoy visibility of an exciting pipeline of potential security solutions as they plan the next generations of their programs.
Partnership & Security
We consider our customers to be partners in a global battle against counterfeiting and fraud. We work closely with our partners to continuously monitor their current and forecasted requirements as well as the performance of the security program in place. 3M believes that fighting the criminals who attack our brands, supply chain, and customers is a long-term engagement, not an isolated battle. Allies are needed, and 3M is in this fight with you for the long term. Unlike many security providers, we are also a global manufacturer of branded goods which are also targeted by counterfeiters. Our interest in fighting counterfeiters goes well beyond selling more security solutions, and we are active in multiple industry organizations to help further the cause.
We also believe that "security" materials are only as secure as the supply chains in which they are managed. 3M sources, produces, and ships its security products using secure processes, and we work with our partners to ensure that the appropriate level of security is in place for their global programs.
Presence & Support
3M has operations in over 60 countries and sells products in nearly 200 countries. Wherever you or your supply chain partners are doing business, 3M has the resources to support you.
3M's program managers provide you with global program coordination and a single, convenient contact point through the life of your program. Our sales professionals and technical service staff will help you diagnose your security problems and seamlessly implement solutions customized to your requirements.
Experience & Stability
3M has been in business for over one hundred years, and we have been providing authentication products for over thirty years. We have enjoyed successful relationships with over thirty national governments, over twenty U.S. state governments, and over 100 manufacturers of leading global brands.
Unlike many providers of authentication technologies, we are a large, diverse, multi-national corporation that has consistently satisfied the requirements of customers and investors for many years. Your security program is a long-term battle, and you can trust that 3M will be there for you now and in the future.
