Baldwin Technology Company has acquired Hildebrand Systeme in Switzerland, which produces web cleaning system.

The terms of the transaction were not disclosed Baldwin Technology's president and chief operating officer, Karl S Puehringer, said: "This acquisition is the logical result of the very successful partnership that has been developed between Baldwin and Hildebrand

That relationship, first started in March of 2005 when Baldwin Jimek became the exclusive global marketer and distributor of Hildebrand's web cleaning systems, has proven so beneficial to both companies that we decided to combine them to consolidate the marketing and operating strengths." He added: "The Hildebrand owner and management team has demonstrated its support for the venture with its agreement to remain with Baldwin and continue to expand and grow the business." Hildebrand's managing director, Christian Trimborn, added: "The Hildebrand web cleaning technologies, distributed under the trade names Jetstream and Jetvac, are important additions to Baldwin's existing product range of cleaning systems.

Baldwin, the leading global automatic blanket cleaning supplier can now offer cloth, brush and web cleaning capabilities to OEM press manufacturers and printers worldwide." Baldwin's chief financial officer, John Jordan, concluded: "Hildebrand has had vigorous growth with good margins in the last two years.

We expect this addition to help Baldwin further define the market in cleaning and become a strong contributor to future sales and income growth.".
