NASPS – a Lotus Flower in the Desert

The Central Bank of Egypt is not the only organisation in the country to have created a brand-new world-class production facility in the desert outside Cairo. Another is the National Company for Advanced Industries and Integrated Strategic Printing Solutions (NASPS), which unites under one (lotus flower-shaped) roof the production of a wide range of ID and travel documents, excise stamps, holograms, security paper, payment cards, personalisation systems and the development of information systems and storage.

Described as one of the most advanced sovereign security printing facilities in the world, the unique ultra-modern complex is intended to make the country fully independent in terms of the production of state and ID documents, and forms a central part of the government’s strategy for digital transformation and automation.
