Xerox Joins Forces With Xeikon Integrating To Target High-Growth Markets

                                          Xerox Joins Forces with Xeikon Integrating to Target High-Growth Markets

   As a major partnership in the production digital printing sector, the agreement enables Xerox to directly integrate Xeikon's extensive technological expertise in digital packaging and label printing into its production printing hardware portfolio.
   Through this strategic combination, printing systems powered by Xeikon technology will be fully integrated into Xerox's established production ecosystem, including its automated workflow software, post-press finishing solutions, global sales network, remote services, and worldwide technical support infrastructure.
   In response to printing companies' growing demand for short-run production, version control, ultra-fast turnaround, and high-value applications, the two companies aim to enhance customers' overall productivity through an integrated hardware-and-software approach.

   The deep partnership with Xeikon directly supports Xerox's ambitious production printing roadmap announced in February this year. Antinora previously identified three strategic growth areas for Xerox: sheet-fed inkjet, packaging and label printing, and continuous-feed inkjet.

   The most closely watched technological breakthrough is Xerox's first major move into industrial packaging production. According to its roadmap, Xerox will launch the first inkjet label press in its history, with a designed line speed of up to 70 meters per minute. This represents a significant transition from Xerox's traditional office and commercial printing roots toward the industrial packaging printing market.
