The packaging giant behind the products you use every day

Want to own a piece of the packaging giant behind the products you use every day?

From your favorite Koshary ElTahrir boxes to the medicine brochures at your local pharmacy, the National Printing Company is the invisible engine that powers everyday life, and it’s finally going public.

Starting Sunday, July 27 and up to Thursday, July 31, 2025, retail investors can get in on the action, with zero stress for the first month. Whether you’re new to IPOs or a seasoned investor, this one’s built different:

  • The company is founder-led. The same people who founded the company from the ground up are the ones who still run it.
  • In 2011, the World Bank’s investment arm came in to provide the National Printing Company with a loan, & walked away as an investor after it was impressed by the companyA private investor has already snapped up the entire private portion of the IPO
  • A private investor has already snapped up the entire private portion of the IPO
  • It’s fully regulated by the FRA
  • You’re guaranteed to get your money back in the first month if the stock doesn’t rise (yes, really)
  • This is a company that produces over 2 billion packages a year. 230,000 tons. 

Let that sink in. This isn’t just another listing, it’s a chance to tap into one of Egypt’s most quietly powerful industries.

What the Company Does?

National Printing Company owns four distinct lines of business:

  • Uniboard manufactures Duplex Boards
    Duplex boards are thick, durable paper boards with two layers—often white on one side and grey on the other—used for packaging items like cereal boxes or toy cartons. This is a key source of export sales for the group.
  • Baddar manufactures Corrugated Sheets
    Corrugated sheets are made of a fluted (wavy) paper layer sandwiched between two flat paper layers, giving them strength and cushioning—commonly used in shipping boxes like Amazon parcels.
  • Windsor manufactures Paper Products
    Paper products include cups, chemicals, and others in addition to varnishes
  • Modern Shorouk is one of the largest printing houses in Egypt
    Some of its work includes folded products like packaging for Lipton Tea, laminated boxes, & books.

But is a Great Company Always a Great Investment Opportunity?

That’s an important question, and a lot of us usually don’t have the time or experience needed to make an informed decision, & don’t have access to the stock advisory services that high-net worth investors have.

That’s why Rumble decided to bring the same A-level access to stock advisory to all of us. 

Backed by a combined 40+ years of experience in the region’s biggest stock markets, Rumble’s experts work around the clock, filtering through hundreds of stocks so you don’t have to, all for a fraction of the price of other stock advisory services.

The easiest & fastest way to invest in IPOs

Subscribing to IPOs used to be a slow, intimidating process. From paperwork to missed deadlines and needing a broker just to get started. At Thndr, we’ve flipped the script.

Here’s why more than 12,000 used Thndr too subscribe to the last IPO:

  1. No Paperwork, No Hassle: Everything is 100% digital. From the moment the IPO opens to the moment you place your subscription, it’s all done through the app. Zero paperwork. Zero middlemen.
  2. Everything in One App: Fund your account in minutes, get notified when the IPO opens, place your subscription, and track how your investment performs, all from one app on your phone.

Follow these three simple steps to get started:

  1. Download the Thndr app: and open an investment account if you haven’t already (takes less than 5 minutes)..
  2. Top up your wallet: make sure it’s ready before the subscription starts.
  3. Place your order: directly on the app by searching for “National Printing Company” and submitting your buy order.

What experienced IPO investors already know and you should too:

  • Oversubscription Happens: IPOs are often oversubscribed, meaning you might get fewer shares than you wanted. Don’t worry—the unused money will be refunded to your Thndr wallet.
  • Maximize Allocation: Use Thndr’s feature to subscribe with up to 4x the money in your wallet to maximize your allocation, but be prepared to deposit the difference if the IPO is not oversubscribed (which is unlikely to happen). 
  • Set a Reminder on day 30: If the stock price drops, remember to redeem your shares on day 30 to recover your investment. Thndr will send you reminders if this happens and all the required details.

What to Do After Subscribing to the IPO

It’s no secret that IPOs in our region are often oversubscribed, sometimes by 10x, 20x, or more. That means you might have subscribed with EGP 10,000 but only got allocated EGP 2,000 worth of shares.

But don’t let your unused funds sit idle. Here are three smarter ways to put your leftover cash to work, instantly, directly through Thndr:

Savings Clouds — High Returns. Instant Access to Your Money.
