Esko has announced that it will acquire Cape Systems, a software provider for packaging and supply chain profitability. The deal, expected to go through in September, will see Cape's product range brought into Esko's portfolio.

"There could be no better future for Cape than to join Esko, one of Cape's most dynamic and familiar business partners," notes Cape's chief executive officer Brad Leonard. "Joining Esko guarantees our global users continued support, development and integration and opens up a wide range of packaging solutions."
