|Transfer of AKL's business operations to the Inometa Group
On 1 May 2010, the business operations of the AKL Flexo Technik GmbH (Warburg) will be transferred to the Inometa Group (Herford). A subsidiary of the Inometa Group named «Inometa AKL Flexo Systems» will assume responsibility pertaining to all business operations. Edward Scheppink, the previous executive director, will be at the helm of the new subsidiary, which will remain an independent company located in Warburg.
For the Inometa Group, the acquisition of the business operations of the AKL Flexo Technik GmbH is an excellent strategic enhancement of its existing range of flexographic printing products: For a start, the Inometa Group is now in a position to offer all rotating components of a flexographic printing unit as a combination of self-developed and self-produced products made by either AKL, Inometa or Harper Graphics. In addition, AKL's innovative OptiFLEX thin sleeve system perfectly complements the 'in-the-round' flexographic printing technology concept of the Inometa Group. The business takeover furthermore strengthens the Inometa Group's end-customer business with print and repro shops. And last but not least, the additional know-how boosts the Inometa Group's standing as a competent and proficient development partner of the machine manufacturing community.
