Xaar acquires Engineered Printing Solutions

Xaar has bought the American company Engineered Printing Solutions, or EPS, which sells printing kit in North America. It’s Xaar’s first acquisition and forms part of its strategic vision to achieve £220m of annual sales by 2020.

EPS, which was founded in 1985, supplies customised and bespoke printing solutions to a wide variety of market sectors including promotional, packaging, medical, automotive, apparel, appliances, sports equipment and toys. This includes developing flexible and cost-effective digital inkjet solutions. Last year the company generated $14m of revenue and today employs 60 staff.

Doug Edwards, CEO of Xaar, says that EPS has the potential for further growth, adding: “Xaar gains a strong customer base and footprint in North America, a region Xaar has been targeting for growth.  The integration capabilities EPS brings to Xaar will enable us to provide greater support to our existing and new OEM partners”.

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.
