Epson Italia SpA is reportedly going to completely acquire Fratelli Robustelli, one of the leading manufacturers of textile printers.
The reports claim that while the entry of Robustelli into the Epson Group will allow it to expand its reach to more customers around the globe, this strategic move will also back Epson to take advantage of Robustelli’s capability in accelerating the development of digital inkjet textile printers with a wider line-up of products, through joint R&D.
Sunao Murata, COO – Professional Printing Operations Division, Epson averred, “The market for high-quality digital textile printing is expanding, and I believe that formalizing our collaboration with Robustelli in this way puts us in a great place to meet the needs of the growing numbers of customers who are seeking to leverage the advantages of advanced digital solutions that will help drive their businesses forward.”

Additionally, Epson will use its already established sales and service network to make Monna Lisa – registered trademark of Robustelli – available in more countries and regions across the globe. “We will work closely with our colleagues at Robustelli to take Monna Lisa to the next level and remain leaders in the field,” asserted Murata.
