28/05/2007
 
US-based supplier of automated manufacturing systems for apparel and flexible materials, sign-making and specialty graphics Gerber Scientific, Inc., the parent company of Gerber Technology, has successfully completed the acquisition of Data Technology, Inc.  Based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, Data Technology manufactures multi-functional, precision cutting systems for the rigid and flexible materials, packaging and graphics industries.

In its last fiscal year Data Technology recorded annual revenues of slightly under $10 million. The integration of the two companies’ operations, networks and customer facing organisations is already under way.

Gerber Technology's vice president of global sales, Sam Simpson, said that the cutting systems would particularly help to strengthen its fast-growing technical textiles and composites segments.
