Danaher: Packaging market important to businesses

EskoArtwork’s parent company Danaher, which acquired the pre-press specialist at the start of 2011, sees the packaging market as important to its businesses.

Danaher is a global science and technology company with interests in industrial technologies, life sciences and diagnostics, test and measurement, dental and environmental. It recently announced further acquisitions related to the packaging market, with plans to acquire X-Rite/Pantone revealed in early April.

The deal for X-Rite/Pantone is currently going through regulatory approval, said Danaher executive vice president Dan Daniel (pictured, top), who was speaking as part of an EskoArtwork press conference.

EskoArtwork and Pantone’s most recent collaboration has been on the PantoneLIVE cloud-based color management system.

‘The print and packaging markets are important to Danaher’s businesses,’ said Daniel. ‘We’re excited about the X-Rite/Pantone purchase as color management is a very important subject.

‘There are outstanding growth opportunities in this area, and we’re excited for X-Rite/Pantone to join our company.’
