Komori Corporation has announced the completion of the acquisition of MBO Group, a global manufacturer of post-press equipment.
MBO Group is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Komori under a new company name – MBO Postpress Solutions GmbH. This buyout will allow Komori to provide print solutions from start to finish, and with their combined strength, Komori’s market presence will be greatly expanded, allowing the company to extend its print solutions to a wider range of applications from the commercial, to packaging and digital printing.
Since 2009, Komori has followed an aggressive strategy to be a true solution provider to the industry, and to better support customers in achieving a higher level of productivity – and that has paid off. The nearly 100-year old company markets a host of peripheral print equipment product lines to support the efficiency and continued improvement in the pressroom. MBO’s high-precision, high-productivity post-press equipment portfolio fits well with Komori’s strategy which for instance will see MBO’s real-time data solution – Data Manager 4.0 and Komori’s IoT-based cloud solution – KP-Connect, to seamlessly connect and report job data flow and feedback mechanisms for job status, waste and overall efficiencies of all devices.
