EFI grows automation portfolio

GamSys provides MIS systems for the printing and packaging industries in the French speaking areas of Europe and Africa.

Based in La Reid, Belgium, GamSys has a base of over 400 customers in Europe. With EFI's acquisition, GamSys will become part of EFI's existing software applications portfolio.

EFI intends to integrate support and operation of GamSys into the existing productivity software (EPS) organization, while continuing to enhance its product offering. EFI GamSys clients will also be able to integrate EFI's Fiery digital front end driving print engines from Xerox, Ricoh, Canon and Konica Minolta.

Marc Olin, senior vice-president and general manager of EPS, said: ‘We are very pleased to have GamSys join the EFI family and our continually expanding portfolio of industry-leading business automation technologies. We look forward to continuing the high-level of support for their over 400 customers in France, Belgium, Switzerland and throughout the rest of the world have come to expect as they join our large global client base.’

GamSys co-founder and chief executive officer, and now EFI GamSys director, Patrick Vreven said: ‘GamSys is excited to join the world-class team of EFI employees and be a part of EFI's strategic focus and investment in Europe.

‘As our market continues to evolve, our customers will now have access to an extensive portfolio of industry-leading technology, with more options to grow their business, while continuing to receive the same high-level of support and attention they are accustomed to.’
