BERLIN (dpa-AFX) - Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HBGRF.PK), a German precision mechanical engineering company, announced Wednesday that it has acquired German software start-up Crispy Mountain GmbH.
The software start-up offers Keyline, a cloud-based management platform for print businesses. With the acquisition, Heidelberger aims to work with Crispy Mountain to expand the Heidelberg 'HEI.OS' platform as a new industry platform for the printing industry. The platform will be open to all printing manufacturers.
The company noted that printing companies will be able to obtain a large number of applications from an App Store. The company expects significant growth in the number of customers by connecting the existing Heidelberg software solutions around Prinect, the Heidelberg ID and the Heidelberg Assistant.
