SmartMetric Progressing With Bringing Large Scale Production Facility Online in Asia for Its Biometric Card With an Initial Production Capacity of 250,000 Biometric Cards per Week

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - August 20, 2015) - SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) SmartMetric is continuing expanding its manufacturing capacity with a major Asian manufacturing plant coming gearing up for production of the SmartMetric biometric card.

The new contract manufacturing facility in Asia will give us the capacity to produce 250,000 cards a week with the capability of up-scaling this capacity relatively quickly to two or even four times this capacity. This capacity will give us the ability to meet anticipated initial global demand for our biometric activated payments and identity cards said today SmartMetric's President & CEO, Chaya Hendrick.

It is expected the transfer of manufacturing capacity to the Asian manufacturing facility to be completed within the next three weeks. Because the company is focused on bringing this new facility online it is scheduling it's official product launch to follow the Asian facility commencement.

SmartMetric is the developer of fingerprint authenticated and activated payments cards for use by credit and debit card issuers globally as well as biometric access control cards.
