De La Rue's Transformation and Vision for the Future

Since taking the helm at De La Rue in October 2019, CEO Clive Vacher has overseen one of the most significant transformations in the company’s long history. Through a combination of operational consolidation, investment in innovation, and a renewed focus on customers, De La Rue has repositioned itself as the leading partner to central banks and state printworks around the world.

Last July, De La Rue began a new chapter with its acquisition by the US investment firm Atlas Holdings. One year on, Currency News™ caught up with Clive to discuss the company’s transformation journey and his long-term vision for the future of both De La Rue and the currency industry.
