Chan Wanich Security Printing
Company Limited has a history extending
back over 70 years. Known as Chan Wah Press
when it was first founded on April 24, 1921,
the company has long served the Bank of
Thailand and various commercial banks. During
the Second World War, the Thai Government
employed it to print bank notes. It was
also entrusted with the printing of government
lottery tickets until the State's own printing
press was established.
Today, Chan Wanich Security
Printing continues to print cheques and
other commercial forms for more than 30
banks both in Thailand and abroad and for
over 100 finance companies.
Chavanich Security Printing
Company Limited, Bangkok.
First
stamp(s) traced by compiler: [none yet?]
This firm first came to the
compilers attention when surfing the net
for suitable companies. There was a small
entry in a trade directory for a company
called “Chavanich Co. Ltd.”. It showed their
product range as “machinery, equipment and
supplies, weapons and ammunition, printing
and postage stamps” – a strange combination!

With the printing technology
of Thailand advancing on a par with international
standards, the first stamp printed locally
was issued to commemorate the 1995 National
Communication Day. It featured fibre optics,
which link communications from one part
of the world to another together, with the
emblem of the National Communications Day.
TBSP was established as a
joint venture between The British Printing
and Communications Corporation [BPCC] (Europe’s
largest printing group) and, initially,
four Thai banks. In 1989, they produced
their first stamp-related product in the
form of pre-printed stamp postcards.
On 14 March 1996, TBSP started
trading on the Thai Stock Exchange and output
from their second printing factory came
on-line. They successfully produced
3D hologram stamps to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of His Majesty the King’s accession
to the throne in 1996 and have produced
most of the stamps required by the Thai
Post Office ever since.
Aside from postage stamps,
they produce such security items as gift
vouchers, ATM, credit and smart cards, plus
Thai passports.
