Esko to acquire CAPE Systems

Global supplier of integrated solutions for the packaging and labels, sign and display, commercial printing and professional publishing industries – Esko has purchased CAPE Systems, a provider of software solutions for packaging design, pallet load optimization and supply chain profitability. CAPE is active worldwide through a network of resellers, and is headquartered in Allen, TX (US) with offices in London, UK.

There are strong synergies between CAPE and Esko, including many common customers across both the packaging manufacturing and brand owner markets. There are close links between ArtiosCAD, Esko’s leading structural package design software worldwide, and CAPE PACK, which uses ArtiosCAD data for calculation and simulations within the software. Additionally, CAPE reports can already be managed within Esko’s WebCenter online packaging management platform.
