Following its recent acquisition of Presstek, Mark Andy continues investing in partner companies by adding Brandtjen & Kluge to its portfolio.
According to Mark Andy, the acquisition of the US manufacturer of print finishing equipment for foil stamping, die-cutting, folding and gluing, and UV coating, builds on its corporate vision of driving profitability in pressrooms worldwide through a strategy to be the Total Solutions Partner.
‘Mark Andy is excited to add a company with such a recognisable brand that has been built over decades with thousands of installations and satisfied customers worldwide. We look forward to continuing Kluge’s tradition of high quality products, services and consumables with the broader support of Mark Andy’s global infrastructure,’ said Kevin Wilken, CEO, Mark Andy.
‘Kluge is an industry leader in print finishing and has evolved over the years to meet the ever-changing demands of our customers,’ said Michael Aumann, CEO, at Brandtjen and Kluge. ‘The Brandtjen family is very proud of the legacy they have established and nurtured since the company was founded in 1919. We view today’s transaction as an opportunity to continue growing our business while joining an even larger family that will allow us to build on our commitment of manufacturing durable equipment and to consistently support profitable operations for our customers.’
Mr Aumann will continue to lead Kluge as president of the Brandtjen & Kluge division, which will continue operations in St Croix Falls, Wisconsin.
