Printing solutions provider manroland Goss web systems
Group acquired GWS Printing Systems of the Netherlands , a specialist in used
web offset equipment, the companies announced Dec. 20.
Current
owners Eric van Kessel and Walter Donkers will continue as managers of the
business. With the acquisition of GWS and France-based service specialist Dovak
Industrial Services, MGWS “is making a next important step in the development
of its strategy to be the most advanced solution provider to the web offset
printing industry,” the company says. MGWS and GWS have already closely
cooperated in the field of used equipment, heatset press service and within the
Market-X e-commerce platform launched by MGWS last year, MGWS says.
“The
acquisition of GWS and DOVAK by MGWS is a logical consequence of the many years
of cooperation between the companies and the numerous project successes
celebrated between the companies,” said Alexander Wassermann, CEO of manroland
Goss. “Teaming our forces and solutions will result in an even broader
portfolio to the printing industry worldwide. We expect the used equipment
market and related services to grow within the next years, so adding GWS gives
us the chance to become an even stronger and broader supplier in this business
area.”
