Keystone's early operations, begun in 1958, made specialty
plastics items (tent signs, calculators etc). Its first plastic
cards was manufactured for a current competitor, without
realizing the potential then. But in 1984, under new ownership,
Keystone launched into the card manufacturing business in a
major way. Since then, sales and production volumes have
increased over 35 times. The company has moved twice to much
larger and secure premises and currently Keystone manufactures
over 50 million cards a year of all types--credit, debit, smart,
I.D., library, loyalty, telephone etc. The company is a charter
member of the world association of card manufacturers made up of
over 120 companies around the globe, the International Card
Manufacturers Association (ICMA).
Keystone is currently the only card manufacturer in Canada
with National and International sales and service offices. At
present,there are dedicated offices in Vancouver, Calgary,
Montreal, and at the head office in Toronto. Internationally,
the company utilizes sales agents in Zurich (Switzerland),
Stamford Conn.(USA) and Minneapolis(USA) as well as nternational
sales from the head office. Exports account for approximately
15% of total sales--to markets including USA, Cuba, Switzerland,
India, Middle Ease the and Caribbean.
Keystone has developed a production operation that embodies
two enormously important attributes from a customer's point of
view: 1. Flexibility and adaptability--our raison d'etre is to supply
what our customers need, when they need it. So we jump and find
ways to respond to our client's needs. That is how the business
has grown and why it is still central to our operation.
2. Quality--speed and flexibility are not compromises for
quality. And Keystone has been recognised as the world's best
manufacturer of phone cards for THREE YEARS IN A ROW by the
ICMA. We are extremely proud of this recognition because it
endorses the fine work our people put into our customers'
products--on a consistent basis over long periods of time.
