It is expected that Drupa will provide a launchpad for a combined Rip/workflow solution from Global Graphics and Hybrid.
Both companies are chaired by Guido Van der Schueren, formerly managing director and chairman of the board of Artwork Systems Group and vice chairman of the Esko Artwork Group. Since taking on the role at Global Graphics in 2014 it has been Van der Schueren’s intention to grow the two companies closer together.
Gary Fry, CEO of Global Graphics said: “Our alliance with Hybrid Software will help us to broaden our product offering to deliver a more complete solution which is what our customers are asking for.”
