The Cerutti acquisition is in line with Bobst’s strategic goal of further consolidating its technology and market leadership in the global gravure printing market. Through this acquisition, the Bobst Group adds to its assets the Cerutti brand, Cerutti’s intellectual property rights and intangible assets. Thirty Cerutti ex-employees will join Bobst Italia’s personnel at the company site in San Giorgio Monferrato, Italy.
‘We are pleased that the proceedings have finally come to a completion, ending a period of uncertainty for Cerutti stakeholders,’ comments Davide Garavaglia, general manager and head of Product Lines Gravure, Vacuum, Coating & Laminating at Bobst Italia.
‘Following the completion, we will be able to integrate into our organisation the Cerutti technology along with its technical experts, adding to our existing know-how and capabilities. It also means that we can now provide Bobst’s high level of service and support to Cerutti machines installed globally.’
