Strategic Investments & Industry Collaborations
- Security Papers Limited (SPL) – PSPC holds a 40% stake in SPL, which is the only manufacturer of banknote paper in Pakistan. This reduces reliance on imports and ensures a secure and stable supply of high-quality currency paper.
- SICPA Inks Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. – PSPC owns 47% shares in this joint venture with SICPA Lausanne, Switzerland, a world leader in security inks. The partnership ensures that Pakistan’s banknotes and other critical documents are printed with high-quality, tamper-resistant inks.
To strengthen Pakistan’s security printing capabilities, PSPC has forged strategic partnerships and made key investments:
Ownership & Management
Initially established as a joint venture with Thomas De La Rue International (UK), PSPC became wholly owned by the Government of Pakistan in 1971 after acquiring the remaining shares from De La Rue. Previously managed by the Ministry of Finance, PSPC came under the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on June 14, 2017, following the SBP’s acquisition of banknote and prize bond printing operations.
With decades of expertise and a commitment to innovation and security, PSPC continues to evolve as a trusted name in security printing, ensuring integrity, efficiency, and reliability in Pakistan’s financial and official documentation.
Organizational Integration
Effective July 1, 2025, the National Security Printing Company (NSPC) has been formally amalgamated with and into the Pakistan Security Printing Corporation (PSPC). This strategic consolidation, following PSPC’s acquisition of NSPC, aims to enhance operational efficiency, optimize resources, and further strengthen service delivery. All assets, obligations, and contracts of NSPC are now fully vested in PSPC. This integration will further elevate our capabilities, enabling us to deliver even more seamless, innovative, and secure printing solutions to our valued stakeholders. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the State Bank of Pakistan, PSPC remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation, integrity, and excellence across both public and private sectors.
