Agfa-Gevaert Group Closes Acquisition of Inca Digital Printers

The Agfa-Gevaert Group announced that it has closed the acquisition of Inca Digital Print-ers, which was announced on April 20, 2022. This acquisition is an important step to-wards the achievement of Agfa’s ambitious growth targets and strengthens the Group’s position in the sign & display and industrial printing markets.

The acquisition encompasses the portfolio of existing high-speed multi-pass printers, in-cluding a strong service organization, a newly designed line of single pass printers for sev-eral packaging applications as well as a joint development of a customized in-line print en-gine in collaboration with leading corrugator manufacturer BHS Corrugated.

“I am pleased that we are now able to start integrating Inca’s activities into our organiza-tion. This acquisition is a major step in the transformation of our Group. Our digital print-ing growth engine has a tremendous potential, which will be further accelerated by the addition of Inca,” said Pascal Juéry, president and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.

Inca Digital Printers is a Cambridge UK-based leading developer and manufacturer of ad-vanced high-speed printing and production technologies for sign & display applications as well as for the rapidly growing digital printing market for packaging.

Inca is an ideal partner for Agfa, bringing a complementary portfolio of printing solutions of the highest standard and a strong technological platform to launch robust single pass printing presses for the packaging market.

“The combination of Inca Digital’s manufacturing knowhow and Agfa’s inks, technical ex-pertise, worldwide presence and excellent service networks makes this a great opportuni-ty to grow in the fast-moving packaging business,” added Vincent Wille, president of Ag-fa’s Digital Print and Chemicals division. “We now can take our position with high-end and high-speed systems in both the sign & display and the developing carton and corrugated markets.”
