INX International Ink has finalised its acquisition of Ruco Druckfarben, a printing ink manufacturer in Eppstein, Germany.

INX Europe president Peter Lockley said, ‘When we entered into our agreement to acquire Ruco Druckfarben five months ago, we did so knowing that the company’s reputation, market experience and the technical knowledge of its employees made it an outstanding choice.

‘Going forward, our goal remains focused on enhancing INX’s presence in Europe and fortifying Ruco’s role as an industry-leading supplier to the toy, pharmaceutical and packaging industries.’

Moritz Hartmann, a member of the Ruco Druckfarben management team since 2015, has been appointed managing director.
