Logomotion

What Logomotion does

Logomotion, s.r.o. is a Slovak private limited company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Piestany, Slovak Republic, that designs, develops, and produces secure NFC hardware modules. The company's portfolio centers on two product lines: the LGM Card — a standard microSD memory card with an embedded micro coil NFC antenna and two secure elements enabling contactless payments, mobile eID, driving licenses, transit, and authentication on non-NFC phones and feature phones — and off-the-shelf micro coil NFC antennas available in 9mm, 18mm, 23mm, and 28mm sizes. The underlying ferrite-core micro coil antenna architecture is protected by 36 patents granted in more than 150 countries and delivers approximately 80–90% smaller footprint than conventional planar NFC antennas, with stable performance in metal-housed environments and support for both Active and Passive Load Modulation.

Logomotion serves enterprise and government customers in Europe (Slovakia), South Asia (India), and East Asia (Japan). Named deployments include the Slovak Government's MultiPass mobile eID program (in cooperation with DXC Technology and Plaut) and secure microSD HSM modules co-developed with e-Smart Systems for BSI-CSP-certified applications. The company has secured MasterCard Letter of Acceptance (2014) and NPCI India RuPay Dual Interface Card certification (July 2019), with EMVCo Level 1 testing performed at FIME France and FIME India. Technology stack integrates secure chips from NXP (PN80T, SN100T), Idemia, and STMicroelectronics, with BSI CSP, EMVCo Level 1, and NFC Forum R/W mode compliance. Between 2015 and 9 September 2020, the company operated the SMK-Logomotion joint venture with Japanese firm SMK for joint development and production of NFC secure products.

The business model is built on direct enterprise field sales, with hardware revenue from customized secure modules and off-the-shelf antennas, supplemented by professional services including NFC antenna selection, secure microSD card design, software development, system integration, performance measurements, and consultancy. Pricing is quote-based and project-by-project, with contact conducted by phone (+420 602 725 438) and email ([email protected]). No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed, and the operating footprint is concentrated around a single Slovak headquarters with partnerships across European and Asian technology and payment industry participants.
