Diebold ranks fourth on Bank Technology News’
Top 10 Technology Companies to Watch List
Diebold ranked fourth on Bank Technology News’ 2006 “Top 10 Technology Companies to Watch” List. The list, which has been compiled annually since 2002, is comprised of the publication’s picks for top technology companies in the financial services industry. Other companies on this year’s list include: Oracle, RSA Security and Trusted Network Technologies. Diebold is the only ATM manufacturer to ever make the list.

Diebold’s global security division conducts water-tight test on Library Of Congress safe
Diebold recently put one of its safes to a water-tight test at the company’s security facility in Canton, Ohio, to demonstrate its ability to prevent water leaks.

Professionals from Stark State Fire Training Technical College, including Fred Bertram, department chair of emergency services; Jeff Magee, emergency fire services coordinator; and Tim Berczik, fire instructor, were more than happy to drench the 5,500-pound safe from several angles with 60 gallons of water per minute for more than 15 minutes. The water came from a fire truck water hose provided by the City of Canton, Ohio.

The safe, which will house priceless cultural artifacts from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., has a double-door design and stands 70 inches high, 65 ½ inches wide and 55 ½ inches deep.     

In addition to being water tight, the safe is equipped with a full alarm system that’s burglar-resistive. It has an electronic locking mechanism, an all stainless steel polished interior, heavy duty stainless steel adjustable shelves, a UL burglary attack listing and a two-hour, 350 degree Fahrenheit internal temperature fire resistance rating.
