The provider of software solutions has strong synergies with Esko.
Esko announced its intent to purchase CAPE Systems, a provider of software solutions for packaging design, pallet load optimization and supply chain profitability. CAPE is active worldwide through a network of resellers and is headquartered in Allen, Texas with offices in London, U.K.
“Esko is continually evolving from a prepress solution provider to an end-to-end supplier in the packaging world. It is our strategy to improve and drive profitability, utilization and fail safe solutions for our customers all the way from design to the point of sale," explains Carsten Knudsen, Esko president and CEO. “CAPE has already made inroads in the brand owner and retailer packaging space. Adding their palletization tools to our portfolio supports our strategic goals. With CAPE, Esko receives the world’s leading and best-in-class toolkit. We´re determined to leverage the synergies this brings to our existing products and services — especially the sustainability benefits that integrating CAPE’s technology into Esko solutions should provide our customers.”
