a history of
innovation
A Singapore printer is born
1973 - 1998 (25 years)
As a subsidiary of Temasek, we started out as Singapore National Printers. After acquiring Educational Publications Bureau (EPB), we became the first company to list on the SESDAQ as SNP Corporation.
Expanding our footprint to Greater China
1998 - 2008 (10 years)
Under the leadership of CEO Chee Tong Yeo (1998 – present), we expanded beyond Singapore. After acquiring strong print businesses in Greater China like Leefung-Asco, we rebranded as SNP Leefung. Achieving 70% of the magazine print market share in China, we boldly expanded our service offerings by acquiring companies specialising in packaging, labeling, security printing, and financial printing.
Emerging as a leader in China's print sector
2008 - 2018 (10 years)
Joining forces with the TOPPAN GROUP (TYO:7911), we rebranded as TOPPAN LEEFUNG. Now part of a Nikkei 225 global leader in communication solutions, we fortified our specialisations in packaging, labeling, security printing, and financial printing.
Expanding globally beyond print
2018 - 2023 (5 years)
Looking towards digital transformation, we moved beyond financial and security printing and expanded our focus areas in Regulated Communications and Security by acquiring TOPPAN Ecquaria in Singapore, TOPPAN Merrill (formerly Merrill Corporation) in Minnesota, and TOPPAN Next Advertising in Shanghai. Organically, we also incubated TOPPAN Gravity in Dubai, TOPPAN Next Tech in Singapore, and TOPPAN Digital Language in London. By now, we’re a global business with a combined annual revenue of US$1 billion.
Our Next chapter: Investing in next-gen tech
2023 and beyond
Reflecting our new business mix after 50 years of history, we rebranded as TOPPAN Next. We’re committed to further technology investment in Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Robotics & Automation, and Natural Language Processing. We’ll also develop new markets in Africa, Centra Asia and Latin America.
