ABCorp is a prominent American corporation that focuses on contract manufacturing and services associated with authentication, payment, and secure access. The origins of the company trace back to 1795, when it commenced operations as a secure engraver and printer, playing a vital role in the creation of counterfeit-resistant currency for the First Bank of the United States. Over the years, ABCorp has broadened its reach, establishing facilities across the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Its subsidiary, the American Bank Note Company (ABN), upholds the tradition of high-security engraving and printing, showcasing the company's extensive experience in the production of secure documents.

The American Bank Note Company (ABN) was established in 1795 by Robert Scot, who served as the first official engraver of the U.S. Mint. Originally named Murray, Draper, Fairman & Company after Scot’s three partners, the firm expanded in tandem with the growing U.S. population and the emergence of financial institutions. Throughout its history, the company diversified its product range to include stock and bond certificates, paper currency for state-chartered banks, and postage stamps, which were produced from 1879 to 1894, thereby becoming a significant entity in secure printing and engraving.

ABN was officially incorporated on April 29, 1858, as a response to the financial turmoil resulting from the Panic of 1857. This formation was the result of a merger among seven leading security printing firms, which established ABN's headquarters in New York City. Within a short span of two years, additional independent banknote printers came together to create the National Bank Note Company, further solidifying the industry. This merger greatly enhanced ABN's standing in secure printing, enabling it to absorb competitors and broaden its service offerings. ABN produced U.S. postage stamps from 1861 to 1879 through two companies it subsequently acquired: the National Bank Note Company (1861-1873) and the Continental Banknote Company (1873-1879), thereby reinforcing its position in high-security printing.
