Agfa Graphics has moved to grow its industrial inkjet business with complementary product lines by purchasing the assets of the Harold M Pitman Co, a leading US supplier of prepress, industrial inkjet, pressroom and packaging printing products and systems.
Based in Totowa, New Jersey, Pitman has 502 employees and 16 locations throughout the USA. Its acquisition will significantly strengthen Agfa’s position in the US printing industry, offering immediate growth opportunities for the company’s industrial inkjet and prepress products.
The US company’s portfolio includes flexo plates for the packaging industry, pressroom products and value added services.
"One glance at Pitman’s extensive catalogue is enough to understand that we will considerably expand our scope,” says Stefaan Vanhooren, Agfa Graphics’ president. “One of the main drivers behind this decision was the fact that we gain a unique opportunity to significantly grow our inkjet business.”
