Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems specializes in developing, producing and marketing software and hardware for automation, inventory taking and control, and media security in libraries. Bibliotheca has installed almost 400 projects, positioning it as the European market leader and number two in the world.

RFID is short for radio frequency identification, an advanced technology that uses radio waves to identify and communicate data. RFID is gaining increasing significance in various industries as an alternative to the barcode. Especially in logistics, production and retailing, RFID facilitates the automation of processes and the movement of goods, thereby increasing productivity and security by substantial measure.

Don Nalley, Chair of the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County Board of Directors, said that Bibliotheca is a great example of Huntsville/Madison County’s diverse industry base.

“We often think of our community as one that is shaped by the diversity of technology development that occurs here – and Bibliotheca is a shining example of the diversity of industry and the diversity of technology that makes this community such a smart place to live, work and play. We also think of our community as one with a diverse industry base with foreign-owned businesses and an even larger number of companies who provide technology solutions worldwide. And Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems meets that criteria as well,” Nalley said.

Lamar Jackson, president and CEO of Bibliotheca in North America, said that when deciding on a location for American headquarters it was between Huntsville and Philadelphia. Jackson said that Huntsville’s transportation infrastructure and skilled pool of talent are just two of the reasons for choosing Huntsville. Since opening in Huntsville, Bibliotheca has grown from two employees to 14.
