Herndon, VA. March 5, 2010 ¬ Invengo Technology Corporation, one of the world¹s largest RFID manufacturers, follows its European launch at the ID World International Congress in Milan, with the announcement that it has formed a distribution agreement with Miles Technologies of Barcelona, Spain.

The agreement means that Miles Technologies will be the sole distributor of Invengo¹s full range of RFID inlays, tags, smart cards, and readers throughout France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and some other countries from Eastern and Northern Europe.

³I have known the people at Miles for some time and am now very pleased that this is the company that will represent Invengo products, in what is one of our key trading regions,² said Philip Calderbank, Invengo¹s VP of Sales & Marketing.

³Our goal is to bring innovative RFID products and best prices to Systems Integrators and Value Added Resellers across Southern Europe,² said Ignasi Barba, founder and CEO of Miles Technologies. ³We chose to work with Invengo as we know that they have a vast amount of product design experience, and with their manufacturing plants in China, we can expect to be able to offer very competitive pricing. In addition we aim to be able to ship most products within 1/3 days, and that will allow for our resellers to maintain minimum stocking levels.² Earlier this year Invengo announced that UKCoding of Bradford, England will be the distributor for Ireland, the UK and parts of Northern Europe.

³With this agreement, Invengo is able to offer local support across the whole of Europe, and we see a tremendous outlook for the RFID business as we look to offer a range of products and pricing that will be very new for this region,² added Philip Calderbank.
