After helping set up a distribution network in the EU and the East for Collagen Lift Paris (www.collagenliftparis.com) in 2016 when the brand was launched, a new business named Collagen Experts was set up in 2022 to accelerate growth for the Collagen Lift Paris brand in the EU and beyond.

Collagen Lift Paris is a high end French manufacturer of collagen based products used for skin applications mostly. Its products are currently sold in over 40 countries worldwide. R&D takes place continuously and a first product for non-skin applications is scheduled to go market in 2023.

Collagen Experts acts as Master Distributor and is involved in distribution in Cyprus, the Benelux, Germany and Romania. Collagen Experts has offices in Cyprus and Belgium.

Palmki is a Belgian biometric identity solution that recognises people based on their unique palm vein pattern. With a single hand gesture, Palmki handles access control, time registration, payments, cybersecurity and process automation without a badge, card or password. The technology is developed by Perfect-ID NV in Hasselt, Belgium.

An infrared sensor captures the vein pattern beneath the skin of your palm - more than 5 million reference points. That pattern is converted into an irreversible, encrypted code (a template); the raw image is never stored. On each subsequent scan, the system compares your palm with that template and grants access in less than a second.

Palm vein patterns lie beneath the skin and cannot be seen or photographed without a specialised infrared sensor, unlike a fingerprint or face. The infrared scan also requires a living hand with active blood flow (liveness detection), so a photo, mould or replica will not work. The False Accept Rate is below 0.00001%, meaning unauthorised access is virtually impossible.

Palmki is one technology with many applications: access control for buildings and offices, fraud-proof time registration, password-free cybersecurity, contactless payments, process automation and custom hardware. For each application you choose between palm-vein-only (fast authentication with just your hand) or a combination with a badge for two-factor security.
