Ink Solutions
Marabu Group has acquired Icon Inks, increasing its international footprint. The move will extend Marabu’s product portfolio and further strengthen customer service and centricity.
‘We have high hopes for this acquisition,’ stated Jon Bultemeyer, executive vice president, business unit screen and pad printing inks. ‘We are always looking to identify segments with strong future prospects. Until recently, our focus had consciously not included textiles. But the market environment is very dynamic, and it is important that our business is broadly based. Textile printing remains one of the largest global screen printing segments. Icon Inks is a leading brand, and this acquisition gives us access to new markets and new skills. Icon Inks has a high profile in Asia and is a valuable addition to our existing Marabu ink offering. By expanding our product portfolio, we are now able to offer screen printing inks for textiles, in addition to our pad printing solutions.’
The purchase allows Marabu to expand its addressable segments to include textile printing. In 2020, it launched its Maqua Pad Map water based ink.
Icon Inks products are an ideal addition to the existing portfolio, and will help the group extend its focus on water based products and expand its textile printing footprint.
