X-Rite Acquires Sensible Graphics, Partners with University of Bonn
REGENSDORF, Switzerland - X-Rite Inc. has entered into a long-term relationship with the University of Bonn that will establish a graduate school in the field of digital appearance. Additionally, X-Rite has acquired Sensible Graphics GmbH, a company providing digital appearance solutions.
"With these investments, X-Rite will extend its current leadership in the business of color into the field of appearance," said X-Rite Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Francis Lamy. "X-Rite Pantone dealt with aspects of appearance such as gloss and texture for years, but the work being done at the University of Bonn and at Sensible Graphics takes this to a whole new level of sophistication. The partnership with the Bonn team will enable X-Rite to develop a new core of technology that will enable the company to tackle high-value problems and serve markets a few orders of magnitude larger than current.”
