What Tageos does

Tageos SAS is a French-headquartered global manufacturer of RFID inlays and tags, founded in 2007 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fedrigoni Group since 2022. The company designs and produces passive and battery-assisted inlays spanning RAIN RFID (UHF), NFC/HF, dual-frequency (HF+UHF), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and passive sensor technologies, sourcing integrated circuits from Impinj, NXP Semiconductors, EM Microelectronic, Pragmatic Semiconductor, and Wiliot. Its 12 billion-unit annual production capacity is distributed across facilities in Montpellier (France, HQ), Fletcher, North Carolina (USA), and Guangzhou (China), with a 700+ m² Innovation Center of Excellence in Munich (Germany) opened in April 2025 for antenna, BLE, flexible-battery, and Engineering-as-a-Service R&D. Tageos holds ARC Quality Certification from Auburn University's RFID Lab across multiple retail specifications, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, and Impinj and NXP Gold Partner status.

The company sells its inlays primarily through indirect channels — converters, service bureaus, and system integrators who embed the inlays into finished label and smart packaging solutions — alongside direct enterprise sales to retailers, brand owners, and industrial manufacturers. End applications span retail (apparel, food and beverage, QSR, beauty), industrial manufacturing and logistics (Bosch kanban deployment), healthcare and pharmaceutical traceability, automotive parts tracking, and premium-goods authentication. The portfolio is anchored by differentiated products including the EOS-241 M830 (first 42x16mm inlay ARC-certified for Specs R and Y2), the EOS-654 BLE G3 ambient-IoT inlay with Wiliot, the EOS-920 and EOS-620 Seal authentication inlays with EM Microelectronic, and the world's first FlexIC-based paper NFC inlay family (EOS Lite, EOS Zero Lite) co-developed with Pragmatic Semiconductor. Revenue is generated through volume-based B2B hardware sales with negotiated per-order pricing; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
