With the Presstek acquisition, Mark Andy said it now serves as one of the only full-complement providers to the global graphic arts and print industry. Presstek’s Zahara waterless plates division is not part of the sale.

Verico Technology will focus on expanding its market share for waterless plates and coating technologies in the printing industry, as well as expanding its offering to new market segments.

Verico Technology CEO Yuval Dubois said: ‘Verico Technology and our R&D team are looking forward to expanding our portfolio and raising industry standards. We are committed to deliver the highest quality products that offer environmental advantage to our clients.’  

Kevin Ray, R&D director at Verico Technology, continued: ‘We are excited for the long-term benefits that Verico Technology will bring to the market. With over 125,000 sq ft of production facility, we look forward to shaking some ground and dedicating resources to grow our portfolio.’

Dubois confirmed that business continues as usual for Zahara waterless customers, and said: ‘There are no changes to our headquarters, ordering process or logistics. We are working on a new website, and understandably our email domain changed but all people you’ve worked with are still here, working hard and keeping our standards high.’
