Since the founding, Peter Villiger, the CEO has always put
extensive efforts on the development of new solutions
1988 - Foundation
VILLIGER SECURITY SOLUTIONS AG was founded by Peter Villiger in 1988. Peter Villiger bought a Swiss company, already existing for 4 years on the market, which had produced security cash systems.
He is the only CEO in the industry who has this continuity and experience. Peter‘s motivation is to reduce the number of attacks on cash transports to zero helping his customers to make profit.
1989 - 1st Ink Protection
Banknotes were mainly transported in jute bags, protected on transport by armed security staff. VILLIGER started developing systems based on the principle of invalidating the money. This was achieved using ink staining that is activated as soon as the case is attacked or opened by force
In 1989 the first VILLIGER cash case with ink protection was launched in Switzerland. It was the first security case with ink and safe bag ripper worldwide. VILLIGER introduced the combination of ink and heat, allowing also the destruction of banknote bundles transported in bags
1990 - 1st Countrywide Roll-Out of Ink Technology in Belgium
Brink’s Belgium bought more than 3.600 cases that were being used for more than 10 years without a single robbery.
Also Brink’s and G4S in Luxemburg decided for VILLIGER cases – almost 500 cases used for 14-15 years without any attacks.
1991 - Pavement Solutions
The first Pavement Solutions from VILLIGER were introduced in Germany, using ink technology to protect cash
In Belgium the robberies and attacks on CIT increased significantly in the 1990’s. VILLIGER was approved and recommended by CIT unions. In these difficult times 1.5 million transports were made with VILLIGER cases
VILLIGER has the biggest installed base of CiT pavement protection systems with the ink-protected cases – these systems are used in more than 750’000’000 transports within last 20 years
2000 - 1st ATM Cassette Protected by Ink by Villiger Technology
VILLIGER developed reliable ATM cassette protected systems founded on its experienced knowledge in ink-technology.
As a result of close cooperation with the ATM manufactures and CiT companies an alternative system was launched.

The minipayIn system is an improved and upgraded version of Safe Cube – developed by Shopsafe a subsidiary of VILLIGER – that has been a successful Retailer Solution since 2008
