EFI is now solely focused on driving the analogue-to-digital transition across the packaging and corrugated, display graphics, textile, and building materials/décor end-markets using industrial inkjet.
This follows DFE specialist Fiery becoming an independent company and also the divestment of its software business in 2021.
As separate companies, EFI and Fiery will have distinct areas of strategic focus that will enable them to serve their customers better and grow over the long-term, with EFI focused on industrial inkjet digital printing and Fiery on digital front-ends (DFEs).
Jeff Jacobson, now executive chairman of both EFI and Fiery, commented, ‘This realignment positions both EFI, now solely focused on digital inkjet for industrial applications, and Fiery, the leading global DFE provider, to win in their independent markets while maintaining the close partnership that has contributed to the success of each business. Digital imaging would not be where it is today without Fiery. Operating as a standalone company will only further strengthen Fiery’s market[1]leading position in providing innovative DFE solutions.
‘Similarly, no company in the industry can match the depth and breadth of EFI’s industrial inkjet portfolio and I am looking forward to this next chapter of growth under Frank’s leadership.’
