Bencis completes Xeikon acquisition

Bencis Capital Partners has now completed its purchase of Punch International’s controlling interest in Xeikon, making Bencis the largest shareholder of the company. The remaining shares are held by the Gimv-XL fund as a minority shareholder. Bencis is an independent private equity firm that invests in medium-sized companies in the Benelux countries. Gimv-XL, managed by Gimv, is the largest investment fund for midcap companies in Flanders.
This means that Xeikon now has the capital that it needs to continue developing new products, specifically the Trillium liquid toner press. This is due to shortly start beta testing and should be available next year.
Wim Maes, the former CEO who stepped down at the end of last year is to come back as CEO, following the departure of Frank Deschuytere.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.

However, there are costs involved in travelling to cover events, as well as maintaining this site, not to mention the time that it takes to carry out research, check facts and interview people. So if you value this work, then please help to maintain it and keep it free to read.
