Datacolor, a global leader in colour management software, instruments and services, has announced the acquisition of TECHKON GmbH, a leading provider of colour measurement technology based in Königstein, Germany. This strategic move combines TECHKON’s four decades of expertise in printing and packaging with Datacolor’s global sales and support network across various industries.
Albert Busch, CEO of Datacolor, stated, “This acquisition marks an important next step in Datacolor’s growth strategy. By welcoming TECHKON to Datacolor, we’re expanding our market presence and product portfolio in the ink, printing and packaging industry, delivering on our commitment to help customers ‘Get Colour Right’.” TECHKON is well-known for its colour management solutions, particularly its SpectroDens instruments and related software.
