Bobst Accelerates Digital Investments
Bobst announced the acquisition of the remaining 49.9 percent in Mouvent AG to reinforce the development of its printing portfolio.
Bobst acquired 50.1 percent of Radex in June 2017 to develop Mouvent AG, a startup company focusing on digital inkjet printing. The intent was to explore and deliver the next innovations to transform packaging production. The work accomplished over the last three years has been very fruitful and positive, according to Bobst.
Mouvent’s innovative cluster technology has been deployed in the Mouvent LB-701, LB-702 and the BOBST MASTER DM5 presses. Despite the COVID-19 situation, more than 20 presses have been sold in Europe and the US during 2020. The Bobst digital portfolio is opening new horizons for label converters, combining high-quality printing, high productivity and the right economics. It is answering the growing demand for short runs, faster time-to-market, versioning and seasonal products.
With this acquisition, Bobst says it is poised to further accelerate its leadership in printing and converting. New digital inkjet platforms and new water-based inks will soon be announced.
