FE Technologies 
Session Partner & Exhibitor

FE Technologies has grown from 2007 into the most successful supplier of library RFID products in Australasia. Our research and development facility has been at the heart of our growth in RFID technology and we have developed an innovative range of library RFID products.

Based in Geelong, Victoria, FE Technologies has its roots as a printing company dating back to the 1920s. In 2005 we started to talk to Australian libraries and discovered there was a need for a value for money library RFID solution that really worked. We set about developing a suite of library RFID products that make every process in the library more efficient, from loans and returns to security and stocktake. In 2007 we won our first library RFID contract and now boast over 500 library groups comprising more than 1000 sites across USA, UK, Europe, Australasia and South East Asia. Our in-house Research and Development Department that is dedicated solely to Library RFID-based R&D has allowed us to keep pace with the changing trends of the library market and to lead the way with new library products and solutions.

In 2014 FE Technologies became part of Invengo International, a world-renowned RFID company that is a research and development powerhouse for RFID. We  now team our Geelong-based Research and Development Team with the Invengo laboratory to develop some truly innovative library RFID products.

Avin has business development and marketing experience and has worked for FE Technologies for many years, so he has a high level of product knowledge. Avin’s key focus is the Chinese market and developing strong relationships with our parent company, Invengo, along with other Chinese partners. Avin is fluent in Mandarin and spends considerable time in China, where developing an excellent understanding of Chinese public and university libraries.
