United Printing and Publishing (UPP), the UAE-based security systems and sustainable packaging company, is relaunching under the new brand E7 Group.
As part of the company’s progress to become an industrial champion in Abu Dhabi, the new name will help to support its ambition to deliver the best customer services and products.
E7 builds on UPP’s legacy of using the best technology to create tailored solutions for customers across the region.
The new brand identity follows the recently completed business combination between ADC Acquisition Corporation and UPP in the region’s first special purpose acquisition company merger.
As a part of the deal, $3 billion was transferred to the company, which will be used to significantly accelerate E7 Group’s growth strategy focusing on secure systems and sustainable packaging.
The combined business began trading on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange on November 9 under the ticker symbol "ADC".
After the launch of the E7 Group brand, the company will trade on ADX under the new ticker symbol "E7" starting November 23.
“Our new corporate identity reaffirms our aspiration to become a leading national industrial champion,” said Ali Al Nuaimi, chief executive of the E7 Group.
“Through the years, UPP has built a reputation for operational excellence, trustworthiness and an unwavering dedication to providing our clients with the highest standards of delivery and service.
“As we transition to E7, we carry forward these values, preparing to embark on an exciting new chapter of innovation and growth as a listed company."
E7 comprises four key subsidiaries, including E7 Security, which is a provider of total security solutions that serve the banking, government, telecoms, retail, hospitality and transport sectors, and E7 Packaging, a sustainable packaging service arm of the business.
It also includes E7 Printing, which is one of the largest commercial printing providers in the region focused on the education sector, and Tawzea by E7, a comprehensive logistics and fulfilment services business.

What it means to be a conservationist
Who is Enric Sala?
Enric Sala is an expert on marine conservation and is currently the National Geographic Society's Explorer-in-Residence. His love of the sea started with his childhood in Spain, inspired by the example of the legendary diver Jacques Cousteau. He has been a university professor of Oceanography in the US, as well as working at the Spanish National Council for Scientific Research and is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Biodiversity and the Bio-Economy. He has dedicated his life to protecting life in the oceans. Enric describes himself as a flexitarian who only eats meat occasionally.
What is biodiversity?
According to the United Nations Environment Programme, all life on earth – including in its forests and oceans – forms a “rich tapestry of interconnecting and interdependent forces”. Biodiversity on earth today is the product of four billion years of evolution and consists of many millions of distinct biological species. The term ‘biodiversity’ is relatively new, popularised since the 1980s and coinciding with an understanding of the growing threats to the natural world including habitat loss, pollution and climate change. The loss of biodiversity itself is dangerous because it contributes to clean, consistent water flows, food security, protection from floods and storms and a stable climate. The natural world can be an ally in combating global climate change but to do so it must be protected. Nations are working to achieve this, including setting targets to be reached by 2020 for the protection of the natural state of 17 per cent of the land and 10 per cent of the oceans. However, these are well short of what is needed, according to experts, with half the land needed to be in a natural state to help avert disaster.
