ECO3 has acquired UK-based Direct-to-Plate (DtP) Ltd., a well-established service and support provider to the UK printing industry. The deal will strengthen ECO3’s service network in the UK.
Commenting on the acquisition, ECO3’s Global Head of Sales & Service, Frederik Dehing, said, “Providing excellent services has always been an integral part of the total prepress solutions we bring to market. Customers around the globe trust on ECO3 for the support of their consumables, equipment and software. This acquisition enforces our organisation and ensures that our newspaper, commercial and packaging customers in the UK remain assured of the best possible after sales support available.”
Eddie Williams, Head of Sales Europe, added, “We are bringing on board a team of highly experienced and professional engineers, providing 24/7 services to a broad range of equipment and software solutions. Their know-how will enable us to expand our reach and continue to provide the best services to our customers.”
With immediate effect, the former DtP team will be integrated into ECO3 UK head office in Derbyshire. Customers of the former DtP company will continue to receive support and have access to spare parts supplied by former DtP.
