A developer of RIPs and related software for digital industrial textile printing, Barcelona-based Inèdit will be integrated into EFI’s Reggiani textile business.

“Digital represents the biggest transformational opportunity we have ever seen in industrial printing,” said EFI CEO and executive chairman Jeff Jacobson. “We are committed to driving innovation and expanding our offerings through all economic cycles as we address our customers’ critical need to digitise and automate their workflows.”

Inèdit’s employees will continue to work from their current offices and, as part of EFI Reggiani, Inèdit will continue to support products for a broad range of digital printers. The other terms of the acquisition, which was announced on 8 June, were not disclosed.

“We are enthusiastic about the expanded business opportunities this acquisition creates by reinforcing EFI Reggiani’s strategic role as a trusted advisor for our customers,” said EFI Reggiani senior vice president and general manager Adele Genoni. “Inèdit’s extensive market coverage will be a key point of emphasis to fully leverage the strategic synergies arising from the combination of the EFI Reggiani and Inèdit businesses. It is an acquisition that significantly strengthens our presence in key textile markets.”

Inèdit co-founder and sales manager Jose Antonio Caballero added: “Becoming part of the EFI Reggiani business empowers us to develop and deliver an even greater level of end-to-end textile integrated workflow solutions and Industry 4.0-driven automation enhancements that will further drive customers’ productivity, printing performance, profitability, and sustainability in textile printing. Our team is excited to join a company that is a leading innovator in digital textile printing.”
