The Agfa-Gevaert Group has finalised its acquisition of Inca Digital Printers.
“I am pleased that we are now able to start integrating Inca’s activities into our organisation. This acquisition is a major step in the transformation of our group. Our digital printing growth engine has a tremendous potential, which will be further accelerated by the addition of Inca,” said Agfa-Gevaert president and CEO Pascal Juéry.
The acquisition, initially announced on 20 April, encompasses Inca’s portfolio of existing high-speed multi pass printers, single pass printers for packaging applications as well as a joint development of a customised in-line print engine in collaboration with BHS Corrugated. I
Vincent Wille, president of Agfa’s digital print and chemicals division, added: “The combination of Inca Digital’s manufacturing know-how and Agfa’s inks, technical expertise, worldwide presence and excellent service networks makes this a great opportunity to grow in the fast-moving packaging business. We now can take our position with high-end and high-speed systems in both the sign and display and the developing carton and corrugated markets.”
