Day International to Acquire Duco International


    Day International, a global manufacturer and distributor
    of highly engineered consumable products used in offset, flexographic
    and digital printing, has announced the signing of an agreement to
    purchase Duco International. Completion of the transaction now awaits
    official approval from the competitive trade authorities in Great
    Britain and Germany as well as final approval of Day's financing.
    Duco International, headquartered in the UK, is a printing blanket
    manufacturer with facilities in Slough and Swindon, England. The
    company's global distribution covers five continents with its most
    significant presence in Europe, Asia Pacific and India.
    Dennis Wolters, president and CEO of Day International said, "Duco
    International is a great fit for Day. The Duco product line, its
    technologies and manufacturing capabilities combined with Day's
    extensive resources, will result in Day being able to create more
    value for the customer."
    In addition to the Duco brand of offset printing blankets, Duco
    also distributes and services Cow and Dunlop brands of printing
    blankets. Duco's complete product range offers choices for virtually
    every printing application: sheetfed, web, newsprint and specialty
    printing.
    Added Wolters, "Day is committed to creating more customer value;
    and part of that commitment involves providing more services, more
    support and more product choices. The acquisition of Duco, with its
    many fine products and services, indeed supports this goal."
