EFI's interim chief financial officer and senior vice president and general manager of the company's Productivity Software business, Marc Olin, said, “Adding the Metrix team's exceptional talent and technical know-how helps us drive innovation even further, ensuring that EFI customers can continue to reduce the cost and improve the profitability of their printing operations."

The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. According to EFI, the acquisition is not expected to material to EFI's Q4 or full-year 2013 results. The Metrix team has joined EFI, including Metrix chief executive officer and founder Rohan Holt, who is now director of EFI Metrix products.

"EFI is the leader in print production workflow and I know our worldwide customer base will benefit enormously from the new level of integration with EFI's products," said Rohan Holt.

The newest version of Metrix will be introduced later this month at the 2013 SGIA Expo in Orlando, Fla., in booth 462.
