EFI acquires Metrix Software

The two companies have had a working relationship for a number of years, and EFI said the acquisition will help it ‘drive innovation even further’.

EFI is to continue development and customer support activities for all of Metrix’s software products. As an example, the newest version of Metrix will be introduced later this month.

Metrix’s technology offering will also expand to serve as an integrated impositioning module for EFI’s Pace MIS product. Over time, Metrix’s technology will also become integrated with EFI’s other MIS and ERP workflow offerings. EFI also intends to continue Metrix’s existing reseller and channel arrangements.

The Metrix Software team will join EFI as a result of the acquisition, including chief executive officer and founder Rohan Holt, who is now director of EFI Metrix products.

Holt said: ‘EFI is the leader in print production workflow and I know our worldwide customer base will benefit enormously from the new level of integration with EFI’s products.’

Marc Olin, EFI’s interim chief financial officer, and senior vice-president and general manager of the company’s Productivity Software business, said: ‘Adding the Metrix team’s exceptional talent and technical know-how helps us drive innovation even further, ensuring that EFI customers can continue to reduce the cost and improve the profitability of their printing operations.’
