Dotz Nano Limited has entered into a commercial agreement with V2Tech Distributors Pty Ltd. (V2Tech), an Australian- based corporation specialising in wholesale distribution, to supply its anti-counterfeiting and tracing capabilities for face masks and other PPE equipment.
Under the agreement, V2Tech Distributors will pay A$528K to Dotz to supply ValiDotz security markers and geo-specified tamper-proof stickers with encrypted QR codes to authenticate an initial order of 30 million face masks for the Australian health sector, government and retailers.
V2Tech will pay Dotz 5 per cent of the contract value within 30 days of the agreement date. The balance will be paid upon delivery by Dotz of the quantity of ValiDotz security markers and encrypted QR codes needed to authenticate the 30 million masks, expected in Q4 2020.
