Hot on the heels of its acquisition of North American MIS developer PrintLeader, the latest deal will deliver GamSys’ customer-base of 400 printing and packaging firms in France, Belgium and Switzerland as well as French speaking countries in Africa.
The US-based digital printing and software giant said it would integrate support and operation of GamSys into its existing productivity software organisation.
As part of the deal, the financial terms of which remain undisclosed, EFI GamSys users with Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta or EFI Vutek printers will be able to integrate their systems with EFI's Fiery digital front end.
Senior vice president and general manager of EFI Productivity Software Marc Olin 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 customers."
Founder and chief executive of GamSys Software and now director or EFI GamSys, Patrick Vreven said: "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."
The latest acquisition comes just two weeks after EFI announced its buyout of PrintLeader following a short hiatius from its acquisition trail in 2012, in which EFI absorbed four companies, in its bid to increase its hold on the global ERP, MIS and web-to-print markets.
In an interview with PrintWeek in February, chief executive Guy Gecht confirmed that there would be more deals in 2013, with packaging a target area, and that EFI was in talks with various players in the industrial print sector.
