Kyocera Corporation has signed a deal, effective April 1, 2023, to acquire France-based inkjet print engine and system manufacturer Nixka, which will be renamed Kyocera Nixka Inkjet Systems. Kyocera’s 100% ownership of Nixka will “create new synergies in inkjet print technologies,” it said.
NIXKA, established in 2020, develops, manufactures and sells high-quality inkjet print engines and systems, with integrated services that target specific customer needs.
Since 2007, Kyocera has been expanding its digital printing business to serve new applications in commercial and industrial printing. Kyocera's high-speed inkjet printheads have become key devices within industrial inkjet printers, gaining a strong market position by enabling digital printing at high speed and high resolution.
“NIXKA's print engines and systems utilize Kyocera's flagship inkjet printhead products and are optimized in advance for easy use by customers with no inkjet printing expertise,” Kyocera said. “Given the trend toward custom, small-lot printing, demand for NIXKA's solutions is expected to increase.
“In acquiring NIXKA, Kyocera will expand its business into new markets, including print engines, systems and integrated services.
“Kyocera aims to maximize synergies by combining expertise from both companies and by promoting the widespread use of inkjet printing technologies by developing new products and applications, contributing to the printing industry as well as the further growth and development of the Kyocera Group.”
