ESKO and ARTWORK SYSTEMS will combine their operations. The resulting new entity, with estimated 2007 revenues in excess of EUR 180 million and a combined workforce of close to 1,000 professionals, consolidates the market leadership of both companies in packaging and printing pre-production products and services in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific.
The strategic rationale for the transaction is clear and founded upon a better utilization of each company’s complementary strengths in the packaging and commercial printing market segments, complementary expert sales and support channels and global customer bases.
