AI software company Tilia Labs has been acquired by Esko. Tilia Labs’ range of intelligent algorithms for sheet layout, estimation, and planning complement Esko’s existing software suite and the two companies will work together to develop next generation integrated solutions.
Mattias Bystrom, vice president and group executive product identification, Danaher Corporation (Esko’s parent), said the combined solutions will enable Esko to better serve its customers in the packaging, label, and wide-format markets.
Sagen de Jonge, CEO and co-founder of Tilia Labs, added: “We have long shared a common goal with Esko of empowering businesses to improve ways of working, eradicate waste and optimise operational processes to meet the challenges they face today and tomorrow. We are therefore thrilled that our technology for sheet and roll optimisation, automation, planning, and estimation has been identified as a perfect fit with the market-leading Esko suite of solutions.”
Bystrom concluded: “This acquisition also underlines our commitment to delivering the tools that serve to connect brands and converters upstream. For all our customers continuing their digital transformation journey, the integration of these next generation tools means businesses will be able to digitise, automate and connect more efficiently to drive significant workflow and operational advantages, as well as sustainability benefits.”
