Innovative Technology Ltd. (ITL) celebrate 30 years milestone

Innovative Technology Ltd. (ITL), the multi award-winning provider of cash handling equipment and AI-powered biometric solutions, is celebrating an inspiring 30 years in business this year.

Founded in 1992 by David Bellis MBE, the Oldham based firm was created with the aim to design and manufacture cost effective banknote validation equipment.  In 1994 the company launched its first product, the NV1, and their iconic Smiley bezel was born. Following on from their successful development of affordable banknote validators, they expertly expanded their product range and grew on an international scale.

Commenting on the company’s impressive milestone, founder and chairman David Bellis MBE said, “Over the past 30 years, ITL has flourished, and we have established ourselves as a leading provider of cash handling equipment enabling customers to automate cash payments throughout the world; manufacturing multi-coin hoppers, banknote validators and recyclers that handle millions of transactions every day. This desire to continually innovate has led to the development of our biometric solutions division which allows customers to easily add age estimation and access control functionality to existing equipment or premises.  We now have over 350 staff and numerous office locations worldwide plus a global network of Trading Partners – not a bad result from humble beginnings working out of my conservatory!”
