Our Story

1994

JM Band® was founded by an electrical engineer, who settled in Denmark after starting a family. He designed and built his own printers — enabling fast, high-volume wristband production for festivals and live events.

The company name "DesignX" was changed to "J&Maya" to reflect the names of the founder's children.

2018

The company name "J&Maya" was changed to "JM Band®"

2020

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, JM Band® was acquired by Thomas Brahe and Hans Christian Hellstern. The company entered a new phase focused on digitalisation, organisational structure, and international expansion.

2021

JM Band® formalised its commitment to social responsibility by entering a partnership with Special Minds, supporting inclusive employment through meaningful work.

JM Band® became a member of NFC Forum, strengthening its position within RFID and chip-integrated access solutions.

Today

Today, JM Band® delivers reliable access and identification solutions built for real-world use across all European countries.

A Craft Passed Down Through Generations

With the entry of new owners Hans Christian Hellstern brought the generational expertise on metal tokens used in lockers and wardrobes today.

He comes from a family of token manufacturers dating back to 1886.

Generational knowledge about production drives our approach to materials, durability, and production quality today, even as JM Band® operates as in a modern business environment.
