"DataLase offers a unique printing solution, replacing traditional ink with a patented photonic printing technology. The advantages include top printing quality, high efficiency on packaging line, a clean printing environment and less waste. In a market with a growing need for sustainable printing solutions, DataLase is well positioned and will become a valuable addition to B&B's current holdings", says Eric Persson, Head of Division Safety Technology.
"I am very pleased that B&B has become a majority shareholder in DataLase. B&B has proven its ability to build and develop niche technical companies over a long period of time. I'm looking forward to taking DataLase to the next level under the ownership of B&B", says Clare Lewis, who will remain as CEO and minority shareholder of the remaining 10 % of the shares.
DataLase will be part of the division Safety Technology and closing will take place with immediate effect. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Bergman & Beving's earnings per share during the current financial year.
