Creo closes ScenicSoft acquisition

Creo has completed its previously announced acquisition of ScenicSoft, Inc, located near Seattle, WA. ScenicSoft develops and markets software for the publishing and printing industries, including the specialist Pandora step & repeat solution for labels and packaging converters. ScenicSoft will now become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creo Inc.
Stated Amos Michelson, chief executive officer of Creo. "The integration of the Pandora application into the Creo family of packaging workflow solutions reinforces our commitment to become the leading supplier of prepress systems for packaging printers. The UpFront product will allow us to automate print production at every stage of prepress, press, and postpress. With these innovative new products, the Networked Graphic Production initiative from Creo will deliver even more value as printers' operations become increasingly automated."
In addition to its headquarters in Lynnwood, WA near Seattle, ScenicSoft operates a development and support center in Turnhout, Belgium. Both
facilities will continue operations under Creo. In an effort to optimize the existing Creo infrastructure, some consolidation - mostly associated with the Lynnwood office - will occur over the next three to six months.
