—  Durst has bought a majority stake in CoCoCo software developer. CoCoCo is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that typically sits between equipment on the factory floor and a print business's MIS/ERP. Built on JDF and JMF standards, it creates a dataflow between printing presses, pre-press systems and workflow software from multiple vendors/manufacturers connecting them into “one transparent, AI-ready production ecosystem”. Durst Group has acquired a majority stake in CoCoCo Platform’s German headquartered parent, Triple C Labs. The two businesses said CoCoCo will retain its branding, leadership, “customer commitments and remains fully open to third-party OEMs, software vendors and print production customers”. One of the motivators for the deal was to support Kyveris, Durst's recently unveiled AI-driven, intelligent production system for connected print production. CoCoCo partners include Canon, EProductivity Software, Esko, HP, Infigo, MBO and Muller Martini, and it has a strategic partnership Koenig & Bauer, which itself has a joint venture with the Italian manufacturer for carton presses, Koenig & Bauer Durst.
