Durst Group has purchased print software company, callas, in order to accelerate the development of a vendor-independent software platform for the print industry
Digital print manufacturer, Durst Group, has announced the acquisition of technology company, callas software.
Callas is a provider of prepress automation and PDF technologies which play a role in print workflows either directly or as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component in prepress products.
Durst Group has made the acquisition to strengthen its software strategy and development. In a statement on the purchase, Durst says the objective is to promote “intelligent, seamless automation between machines, software, and print processes.”
Durst aims to use the partnership to accelerate the development of an open, vendor-independent software platform for the print industry. Callas will play a key role in connecting isolated solutions with the goal of enabling print service providers (PSPs) to achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and flexibility.
Christoph Gamper, chief executive officer and co-owner of the Durst Group, says: "This is not just another step towards digitalisation – we are actively shaping the future of digital printing.
“With callas at our side, we are making print software smarter, more connected, and more powerful. The best solutions arise when strong partners work together toward a shared vision."
Following the purchase, callas software will remain autonomous in its management and product development, operating as an independent company. While existing customer relationships at callus will reportedly remain unaffected, expanded integration options will be provided through access to Durst Group’s software technologies.
Dietrich von Seggern, chief executive officer of callas software, adds: "Maintaining callas' independence was a central requirement for joining the Durst Group. Our customers must be able to trust that callas will continue as a reliable partner – while also gaining a new foundation for long-term innovation."
