The Durst Group has announced the acquisition of callas software. callas is one of the leading providers of pre-press automation and PDF technologies and plays an essential role in many print workflows – either directly or as an OEM component in leading pre-press products.

With this acquisition, the Durst Group strengthens its software strategy and focuses on openness and connectivity within the printing industry. The objective: intelligent, seamless automation between machines, software, and print processes. At the same time, callas software will remain autonomous in its management and product development.

For callas customers and OEM partners, the acquisition brings maximum stability and new technological opportunities.

‘Maintaining callas' independence was a central requirement for joining the Durst Group. Our customers must be able to trust that callas will continue as a reliable partner – while also gaining a new foundation for long term innovation,‘ said Dietrich von Seggern, CEO of callas software.

With the acquisition, the Durst Group intensifies its strategy to build an open and connected software platform for the printing industry. callas will play a key role in connecting isolated solutions and enabling print companies worldwide to achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and flexibility.

In the coming months, the collaboration will deepen. The goal is to leverage synergies and accelerate the development of an open, vendor independent software platform for the print industry.

‘This is not just another step towards digitalisation – we are actively shaping the future of digital printing. With callas at our side, we are making print software smarter, more connected, and more powerful. The best solutions arise when strong partners work together toward a shared vision,‘ said Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of the Durst Group.
