What Securitag Assembly Group does

Securitag Assembly Group (SAG) is a Taiwan-headquartered designer and manufacturer of RFID and NFC smart transponders, founded in the mid-2000s (firmographics indicate 1999; company history indicates 2005 — discrepancy noted) and operating with 501–1,000 employees. The company produces a broad hardware portfolio organized into five product families: labels and inlays (HF/UHF, including on-metal and miniaturized form factors), hard tags (overmolded, disc, stick, cable tie, PCB, moldable — most IP68 rated), keyfobs, cards (including high-stability PETF composite), and RFID+1 sensor tags (battery-less data loggers, dynamic tag modules). SAG's core technology stack combines custom antenna design, material-science expertise in adhesives and encapsulation, and proprietary in-house converting equipment that the company claims yields 100% premium roll output. Notable specialty products include the Molding Tag (6.7x6.7x0.75mm, -60°C to +250°C tolerance), the RAINFC dual-frequency label (NFC + UHF via EM4425), the FIDO2-certified authentication card, and LiquidMate O for liquid pharmaceutical vial tagging.

SAG serves seven primary verticals — healthcare, industrial manufacturing, automotive, logistics, retail/branding, IoT, and security/access control — with named customers including the carbon-negative knitwear brand Sheep Inc. and sustainable packaging player TomKat KoolPak. The business model is a quote-based, consultative direct-sales operation targeting enterprise customers, with regional coverage through the Taichung headquarters, a Japan sales subsidiary, and multi-language (English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese) websites. Revenue streams split across hardware sales of tags/labels/inlays and professional services delivered through SAGLab, a co-development service covering concept, prototype, and production. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IECQ QC080000, IATF 16949:2016 (automotive), FIDO2 L1, and ISO 14067 certifications — the last making it the first Taiwan RFID manufacturer with verified Cradle-to-Gate carbon footprint data.

SAG's go-to-market is event-driven and consultative, anchored by regular participation in major industry exhibitions (LogiMAT, ISC West, Automate, The Security Event, CPHI, Computex, Taipei Automation). Distribution is direct-to-enterprise with no disclosed channel partner network. Key supply-side relationships include chip suppliers NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, Impinj, EM Microelectronic, and Texas Instruments — notably, SAG is one of two selected partners continuing TI's legacy Tag-it HF-I inlay line. Active membership in the NFC Forum and RAIN RFID Alliance anchors the company in industry standards. SAG operates as a privately-held Taiwan corporation with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds.

Core offering

Securitag Assembly Group (SAG, 韋僑科技) designs and manufactures RFID and NFC smart tags, labels, inlays, hard tags, keyfobs, cards, wristbands, and sensor tags for enterprise customers. Its core activity is custom antenna design, material/encapsulation engineering, and in-house production of transponders that operate reliably in challenging environments (metal surfaces, extreme temperatures, sterilization, miniaturized embedding). SAG also offers application-specific solutions (LiquidMate for liquid pharmaceuticals, MetalPal for on-metal assets, FIDO2 Card for passwordless authentication) and a co-development service, SAGLab, that takes customers from concept through mass production.

Product overview

Securitag Assembly Group (SAG) is an RFID/NFC smart tag solution provider offering a comprehensive portfolio of hardware products organized into five main categories: Labels and Inlays (various HF/UHF sizes for non-metal and on-metal applications), RFID Tags/Hard Tags (overmolded, disc, stick, cable tie, PCB metal, and moldable tags with IP68 ratings), Keyfobs (Sailboat, Thumb, Translucent series supporting LF/HF/UHF), RFID Cards (ISO Cards, PETF Composite Cards with high thermal stability), and RFID+1/Sensor Tags (Data Loggers, Dynamic Tag Modules for temperature monitoring). The company also provides branded solutions including LiquidMate (pharma labeling), MetalPal (on-metal tracking), and FIDO2 Card (passwordless authentication), supported by SAGLab co-development services for custom applications. SAG focuses on challenging tagging environments including extreme temperatures, dense metal, and miniaturization for embedded use cases across healthcare, industrial, IoT, automotive, and logistics verticals.
