Hybrid Software on the Acquisition Trail: Conics Joins the Group

Hybrid Software CEO Mike Rottenborn states: “Our strategy has always been to build from our core competency of high-end graphical software for Labels & Packaging, then strengthen that with targeted acquisitions of complementary technologies. With the addition of Conics, we strengthen our position in project management and consultancy. Their experience in successfully delivering complex projects is a perfect complement to our existing expertise and is increasingly requested by printers and brands.

“In addition, Conics’ expertise in AI and in particular their products are a perfect fit with our own offering for labels and packaging. We are planning to jointly develop even more innovative software solutions that will have a significant impact on the labels and packaging industry.”

Conics’ founders Dries Maerten and Frederic Vandelanotte confirm this. “We are excited to become part of the Hybrid Software family. We know their software well, having executed many high-profile integrations of Hybrid’s CLOUDFLOW workflow over the last several years,” states Vandelanotte. “We will remain a separate business unit of Hybrid Software and will continue to operate out of our offices in Ypres. We integrate software solutions from many industry vendors as required by our customers, and this will continue in the future,” confirms Maerten.

Both companies are at Labelexpo Barcelona:
Hybrid Software: booth Hall 5, #5E55
Conics: booth Hall 7, #7A17

The first public demonstrations of Conics and Hybrid Software products are being given at Labelexpo Barcelona on the Hybrid Software stand, #5E55.
