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."
