Digital press manufacturer Océ has strengthened its digital wide-format division with the acquisition of Scandin­avian digital kit reseller Epcot.

The move bolsters Océ’s position in Scandinavia, where it already employs 425 people in its Nordic organisation, which has spread across Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.

All 35 of Epcot’s staff are expected to transfer to Océ’s Swedish and Danish offices and the acquisition will
add approximately €8.5m (£6.7m) to its turnover.

In a statement, Océ said: The acquisition boosts our position in digital wide-format printing, which focuses on graphic design, technical drawing, construction documentation, banners, signage and posters for different media carriers.
