E7 Group PJSC announced plans to invest AED 182 million (approximately USD 50 million) in ambitious organic growth initiatives across its security solutions business segment, E7 Security. E7 Security, the Group's dedicated security solutions segment, is a leading provider of technology-enabled security solutions segment. It designs and produces national IDs, passports, and various security documents and cards for governments, telecommunications, banking, and other sectors.

E7's planned investments will bolster its passport manufacturing capacity and enable its entry into the digital tax stamps segment. The tax stamps industry is a high-growth area globally, and E7 intends to support governments worldwide in curbing the illicit trade of excisable goods and enhancing revenue generation. Tax stamps support a range of areas, including the drive to eliminate illicit trade in tobacco products, with 68 countries party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control's supplementary Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products.

E7's planned production of digital tax stamps, scheduled to commence in 2026, aligns with its stated strategy to diversify further in the high-growth, high-margin security solutions segment. E7 Group will also invest in increasing its passport production capacity fivefold, with the planned capacity expansion to come online in 2026 as it continues to secure new contracts and broaden its market reach. The Group continues to leverage its solid client base and technical expertise to grow its passport and identity solutions customer base.

Alongside the significant capacity expansion, E7 Group continues to embed the latest security features in its passport documents, meeting the increasing demands of clients worldwide and keeping pace with international security standards.
