Kao Corporation has concluded an agreement to acquire the business of Chimigraf Holding, S.L., Barcelona, Spain, through a Kao Group company in Europe.
Kao has been developing water-based pigment dispersions and ink to propose a new value in the inkjet ink market for industrial printing.
By further applying “pigment nano dispersion technology” cultivated by Kao for years, in March this year Kao succeeded in developing the world’s first water-based pigment inkjet ink for printing on film materials used in flexible packaging. With a VOC-free design, the newly-developed ink allows for the supply of high-quality, environmental impact-reduced printed materials.
Chimigraf Holding develops, manufactures and sells flexographic ink and inkjet ink for package printing. With a wide range of product lineups and versatile ink designing technologies, the company has developed its business centered in Europe, and is now promoting expansion of its sales channel to a global market. Currently, the company is focusing on developing inkjet ink.
