Brand Protector works by incorporating a number of ingredients into a standard colour masterbatch, which show a pattern of dots when examined under a laser pencil light.
Silvergate managing director Tony Bestall said the presence of Brand Protector is not obvious and it cannot be replicated by simple analysis of a genuine pack. “Its very existence will therefore deter all but the most determined and professional criminals.”
Bestall led a management buyout of Silvergate from parent Vita Group in 2008. The company employs 54 people and occupies a 4583,871sq m factory in Wrexham, North Wales. Its turnover was £6m in 2007.
