ESKO
Description
Esko
was the result of a merger between Barco Graphics and Purup Eskofot in 2002.The
merged company was called Esko-Graphics but was renamed Esko in 2006. In the
fall of 2005, Esko became fully owned by Axcel A/S, a Danish private equity
investment company.
In
August 2007 Esko announced that it was 'joining forces' with Artwork Systems Group NV (AWS), its chief
competitor in the packaging prepress market. Esko initially bought 76.69% of
AWS shares for €196 million.Enfocus, a brand of PDF pre-flighting and workflow
software originally acquired by Artwork Systems in 2000, became a subsidiary of
the combined Esko Artwork company.
Reflecting
the merger, Esko changed its name to EskoArtwork. It also introduced a new
logo, though it is visually very close to the Esko original.
In
January 2011, 100% of EskoArtwork shares have been transferred to Danaher.[9]
In January 2012, the name changed back to Esko, the logo was also updated.
Esko
