Highcon Systems and EFI have entered into a global partnership agreement. With a common group of core customers, together with EFI’s ability to deliver industry-focused ERP software products, the goal is to offer customers an integrated, end-to-end business productivity and workflow solution.

EFI is a leader in the inkjet printing segment. EFI's Packaging and Corrugated Suites deliver off-the-shelf productivity benefits that target specific business areas to reduce waste and inefficiency in the packaging production process, driving cost savings with integrated e-commerce, ERP and shop floor data collection.

In the coming Highcon Euclid and Beam software release, Highcon customers will be able to integrate with the EFI MarketDirect PackCentral online customer ordering portal and EFI Auto-Count 4D software.

“At EFI, we have constantly focused our efforts on driving customer productivity and have released a comprehensive suite of productivity solutions for the packaging industry,” said Gaby Matsliach, senior VP, GM, EFI Productivity Software. “I have been impressed by Highcon’s similar drive for customer efficiency and we are delighted to partner with them in optimizing digital procurement and production workflows.”

“We are excited about working with EFI towards a genuinely end-to-end digital solution, Nozomi and Beam platforms, coupled with workflow automation that will answer the market needs for sustainability and Industry 4.0 manufacturing efficiencies,” added Shlomo Nimrodi, Highcon CEO. “Collaboration with other industry players in the digital space is a critical part of our go to market strategy and we will continue to drive this strategy, demonstrating our commitment to provide the best comprehensive solution to the inherent limitations in the conventional process.”
