X-Rite acquires ColorCert

US-based X-Rite, a global leader in colour science and technology along with its subsidiary Pantone, has acquired Germany-based ColorCert’s software assets from Nelissen Consulting.

X-Rite, which has been the exclusive distributor of ColorCert software, is now authorized to attain all ColorCert software assets and intellectual property related to the ColorCert Suite, including ColorCert Desktop, ColorCert ScoreCard Server and ColorCert Repository Server.

ColorCert software, a real-time colour and print quality process control and reporting tool, is used by consumer goods packaging companies and packaging converters to simplify colour communication across all internal and external stakeholders.

Adrián Fernández, VP of PantoneLIVE at X-Rite said the company has seen a “significant global adoption” of the ColorCert Suite, and the suite is an “essential component” of X-Rite’s long-term packaging strategy to “deliver integrated workflow solutions that streamline colour management across the entire packaging lifecycle from concept to final product.”
