Callas acquisition strengthens Durst’s software strategy
Summary
The objective of the acquisition is to create intelligent, seamless automation between machines, software, and print processes. For Callas customers and OEM partners, the acquisition brings maximum stability and new technological opportunities: expanded integration options and advancement through access to Durst’s technologies; unchanged OEM contracts ensure existing customer relationships will remain unaffected; and it delivers long-term security, as callas will continue to operate as an independent company. “Our customers must be able to trust that Callas will continue as a reliable partner – while also gaining a new foundation for long-term innovation.” Durst said Callas will play a key role in connecting isolated solutions and enabling print service providers worldwide to achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and flexibility. In the coming months, the collaboration will deepen as the companies aim to leverage synergies and accelerate the development of an open, vendor-independent software platform for the print industry. “This is not just another step towards digitalisation – we are actively shaping the future of digital printing,” commented Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst.
