On 8 December 2025, we celebrated a special milestone: it has been exactly 20 years since ANY Security Printing PLC (then operating under the name “Állami Nyomda” – State Printing Company) was listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange. To mark the anniversary, we held an opening bell ceremony to reflect on the defining stages and achievements of the past two decades.
Our company’s shares were introduced to the Budapest Stock Exchange in December 2005 at an issue price of HUF 5,600 (equivalent to HUF 560 based on today’s number of shares), and the share price reached its peak of HUF 8,620 this June. Over the past twenty years, our operations have been characterised by steady growth, a strong international presence and continuous innovation. In the first three quarters of this year, we achieved revenue of HUF 55.2 billion, 61% of which came from export markets – demonstrating that we have become a significant international player in the fields of security printing and personal identification.
“The past twenty years have clearly proven that we made an excellent decision when we entered the stock exchange two decades ago. I am proud to say that since 2005, our revenue has grown more than sixfold, and our export volume has increased nearly seventyfold. This milestone opened a new chapter in our company’s history: it created a stable foundation for continuous development, strengthened investor confidence and contributed to ANY Group becoming one of the key players in the international security printing industry. We remain committed to developing the highest-level, innovative security solutions – and we intend to pursue this direction with unchanged dedication in the future as well.” – Commented on the anniversary, our CEO, Gábor Zsámboki
Speaking on behalf of the Budapest Stock Exchange, István Máté-Tóth, Deputy CEO gave his greetings at the ceremony: “The printing company’s name is associated with Hungary’s first postage stamp, the first lottery and betting tickets, as well as the domestic production of plastic documents that form the foundation of modern personal identification. It is rare for a company to preserve more than a century and a half of heritage while also demonstrating internationally competitive innovation. Two decades of presence on the stock exchange show that tradition and technological renewal together can create long-term value.”
Yet the story is not only about numbers. The dedication of our colleagues, the trust of our partners, and the support of our shareholders have enabled us to serve our clients today in more than 60 countries, across 10 sites, with over 1,000 employees. The past two decades have been defined by continuous development, the introduction of new technologies and major projects such as the production of passports for Ghana, the delivery of a biometric passport issuance system for Angola, and the manufacturing of tax stamps and security documents for Ivory Coast.
The anniversary we celebrated is both a moment of reflection and a look towards the future. We are grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey – and we look forward with excitement to the challenges and opportunities the next twenty years will bring. We will continue our work with the same dedication and professional passion in the decades to come.
