Hybrid Software Group has acquired the entire issued share capital of ColorLogic

ColorLogic was founded in 2002 and has developed an extensive portfolio of color profiling and conversion software, recently winning the 2021 Pinnacle Product Award from the Printing United. Its products are sold worldwide to both end users with demanding requirements for color quality, as well as to OEMs of printing equipment.   

‘Our Harlequin RIP is the market leader in speed and quality for digital printing and is used by many industry-leading OEMs. But its color management has historically been built around the 4-color CMYK process. As the production of labels and packaging shifts to digital printing, more capable 7-color printing devices are required to provide color-accurate matching of brand colors,’ commented Mike Rottenborn, CEO of Hybrid Software Group. ‘ColorLogic has long been respected as an industry leader in extended gamut color management, and their tools provide the perfect combination of speed and quality for these demanding applications.’ 

ColorLogic will become the fifth operating company in Hybrid Software Group, joining Global Graphics Software, Hybrid Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron, and its products and technology will enhance the offerings of all these companies.

‘I founded ColorLogic almost 20 years ago and together with the help of my great team we are proud to say that we are the leading developers of high-end color management technologies,’ added Barbara Braun-Metz, ColorLogic’s founder and CEO. ‘We have great products which are used for the daily print production all around the world and numerous partners using our technology to develop outstanding products on top of it. Now we are ready for the next big step - to ensure the future development of our technology and our products we decided to join forces with Hybrid Software Group. This will allow us to grow and allocate the resources needed for future requirements while continuing to provide uninterrupted support for our existing customers and partners.’
