In 1998 the business was acquired by a group of investors and re-named Bristol ID Technologies. In 2004 the company moved into a state of the art custom built facility located in Lima (pronounced /liːmə/), New York, just south of Rochester.
In 2008 Bristol ID acquired Cards by Dart and relocated the business from Dallas, Texas to Lima.
