The hottest international printing industry acquis

International printing industry acquisitions frequently emerge, industry changes

the printing industry acquisitions continue. From Konica Minolta's acquisition of IT management service company allcovered in early 2011 to Heidelberg's recent acquisition of CSAT, according to incomplete statistics, there have been dozens of reported cases of enterprise mergers and acquisitions in the testing of architectural curtain walls in the printing industry, as/nzs 4284:1995. What emerges behind this frequent mergers and acquisitions is a quietly rising industry change

in the coming period, acquisitions in the international printing field will become more and more frequent, and there will be more and more cross domain acquisitions that seem to be out of touch. The qualitative change of the transformation of the printing industry may occur in the process of acquisition, in this subtle quantitative change

peer enterprises expand production capacity through mergers and acquisitions in the same region

such acquisitions have a single purpose, which is to achieve the expansion of enterprises in terms of scale, production capacity, etc. through acquisitions. This method is simple and practical, and it is the fastest way to increase production; At the same time, because most of the acquired enterprises have their own customer base, the market share of the acquirer can be expanded after the acquisition

in the process of enterprise development, acquisition is a common means. The most common acquisition occurs among peer enterprises, especially among peer enterprises in the same geographical region. In 2011, UPM acquired myllykoski and rhein Papier, repacorp acquired Aladdin label Co., Ltd., a Wisconsin label printing company, and consolidated graphics acquired Jackson group, Cenveo acquired MeadWestvaco's envelope products group, Mohawk fine papers acquired Bravo solutions, a supplier of special synthetic paper and digital paper, Gerald Judd acquired Tavistock paper under INAPA, and Fuhe Group acquired Zhongshan Baoli paper, silk color, Australia and New Zealand, These acquisitions are among peer enterprises in the same region

the purpose of this kind of acquisition is relatively single, that is, to achieve the expansion of enterprises in terms of scale, production capacity, etc. through acquisition. This method is simple and practical, and it is the fastest way to increase production; At the same time, because most of the acquired enterprises have their own customer base, the acquirer's sphere of influence can be expanded after the acquisition, so this expansion method can be called killing two birds with one stone

in areas with developed capital markets in Europe and the United States, many times enterprises do not need to have all the acquisition funds to make acquisitions. As long as enterprises persuade financial institutions to lend or guarantee, they can complete the acquisition with the help of financial leverage. For those listed companies, mergers and acquisitions can bring new themes to capital operations, which can be used as a means to earn money. Therefore, in European and American countries, acquisition has also become one of the preferred modes for enterprises to achieve expansion

cross regional acquisition and expansion of business scope in similar industries

the products of the acquirer and the acquiree are the same or similar, which reflects the outward extension of the acquirer in terms of services and products, but this outward extension is still based on the original target customer group, and the enterprise has not undergone essential changes in the product system. Cross domain acquisitions are mostly aimed at developing countries' markets, and have greater strategic value in helping enterprises achieve business expansion

among the recent acquisitions, some occurred in similar industries. For example, the Danish company glunz Jensen acquired the Italian flexographic plate making equipment supplier degraf S.p.A., and Kodak acquired all the assets of the embossing plate business of Tokyo ohka kogyo company, Xerox's product molding manufacturers can obtain further product integration design, and successively acquire two Internet service companies with interconnection and software as the core business, waterware and Newfield it in the UK. EFI has successively acquired the erp/mis software system supplier, streamline development, LLC, and the Australian prism group holding company. In this kind of acquisition, the products of the acquirer and the acquiree are the same or similar, which reflects the outward extension of the acquirer in terms of services and products, but this outward extension is still based on the original target customer group, and the enterprise has not undergone essential changes in the product system

similar are some cross regional acquisitions. In fact, with the rise of some emerging developing countries, the world economic pattern has changed. China, India, Russia and Brazil, the BRICs countries, are playing an increasingly important role in the world economic development, and they have also become investment hotspots for large enterprises

at the beginning of 2011, Swiss boster Group acquired 65% of the shares of Shanghai Xuheng Precision Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Hong Kong holding company Gorton Co., Ltd; Subsequently, international paper purchased 53.5% of the outstanding shares of Andhra Pradesh paper mill in India for us $257million, and will pay the latter US $62million non compete fee; Similarly, the printing [encyclopedia Weibo] giant Vistaprint has built itself into a wholly-owned subsidiary in India after acquiring printbell, a marketing solution supplier in Mumbai, India; Another example is that fanolantai label achieved the technological upgrading of the experimental machine by acquiring gumta, a subsidiary of BIC group in Brazil, and gumtac entered the South American market; CTI investment company, which is engaged in label printing business, also acquired BIC label technology company in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from pimaco group, turning it into its own subsidiary in Brazil. All these acquisitions are aimed at developing country markets. Compared with acquisitions in the same region, such acquisitions have greater strategic value in helping enterprises achieve business expansion

cross industry acquisitions directly point to the development and changes

but Geomagic freeform 2017, including integrated marketing of various production workflow, software systems, digital printing and online printing, has become the hot pursuit of capital in these acquisitions. Behind these seemingly unproductive acquisitions, it is actually the adjustment of industrial structure and product structure that traditional manufacturing and service industries are actively seeking

whether inter-bank acquisitions or similar industries, whether in the same region or across regions, these acquisitions belong to the scope of conventional business development, lacking too many new ideas. In fact, what really deserves people's close attention is the recent increasing number of cross industry acquisitions

looking back on 2011, some acquisitions are more worth pondering. For example, at the beginning of 2011, GMG, a famous international color management software company, did not acquire other software companies, but acquired aurelon, a Dutch digital information processing technology development company. GMG was interested in the influence of the latter in the large format printing market; Konica Minolta's acquisition of all covered has nothing to do with Konica Minolta's main business, but hopes to achieve new breakthroughs in the fields of active server management, remote monitoring, cloud computing, on-site network support and consulting; The acquisition of nimblefish technologies, a multi-channel marketing service provider, by R.R. Donnelley sons company, a famous American printing enterprise group, has obviously gone beyond the existing printing business field of Donnelley and aimed at a new market; The Marek group, an American commercial printing company, acquired brandspring solutions, an integrated marketing network company in Minneapolis, which also stepped out of the original service field of the Marek group and entered a new market; Heidelberg acquired CSAT GmbH in order to achieve a breakthrough in the field of digital printing, which has nothing to do with Heidelberg's traditional advantage of offset printing; Deluxe acquired all the assets of PS print LLC in Oakland, California, USA, seeking innovation in the field of web printing. It is not difficult to find that integrated marketing, software systems, digital printing and web printing have become the hot pursuit objects of capital in these acquisitions. Behind these seemingly unproductive acquisitions, it is actually traditional manufacturing The service industry is actively seeking the adjustment of industrial structure and product structure

in 2008, the international financial crisis caused by the US subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the world. This crisis has not only brought a sharp decline in business volume to the printing industry, but also promoted the technological and structural transformation of the printing industry. On the one hand, the traditional mass printing can not meet the requirements of printing service buyers to reduce inventory, reduce printing volume, shorten delivery time and reduce costs, and the corresponding digital printing began to be pursued unprecedentedly. On the other hand, with the economic recession, there is also the new technological revolution. Traditional printed matter has been unable to meet the diversified communication needs in many aspects. Printing enterprises must seek change and innovation in order to survive and develop in this transformation process. Such acquisitions should attract the attention of the domestic printing industry. Because today in developed countries is the future of our development
