ABCorp is an American corporation that specializes in contract manufacturing and services related to authentication, payment, and secure access. The company's history dates back to 1795 when it began as a secure engraver and printer, contributing to the production of counterfeit-resistant currency for the First Bank of the United States. Over time, ABCorp has expanded its operations, establishing facilities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Its subsidiary, the American Bank Note Company (ABN), continues the legacy of high-security engraving and printing, reflecting the company's long-standing expertise in secure document production. The American Bank Note Company (ABN) was founded in 1795 by Robert Scot, the first official engraver of the U.S. Mint. Initially established as Murray, Draper, Fairman & Company, named after Scot’s three partners, the firm grew alongside the increasing U.S. population and the rise of financial institutions.

Over the years, the company expanded its product offerings to include stock and bond certificates, paper currency for state-chartered banks, and postage stamps (produced from 1879 to 1894), becoming a key player in secure printing and engraving. ABN was officially formed on April 29, 1858, in response to the financial instability caused by the Panic of 1857. At that time, seven leading security printing firms merged, establishing ABN's headquarters in New York City. Within two years, other independent banknote printers united to form the National Bank Note Company, further consolidating the industry. This merger significantly strengthened ABN's position in secure printing, allowing it to absorb competitors and expand its services. ABN produced U.S. postage stamps from 1861 to 1879 through two companies it later acquired: the National Bank Note Company (1861-1873) and the Continental Banknote Company (1873-1879), solidifying its role in high-security printing.
