Ilford Group acquires German Tecco GmbH

Commenting on the acquisition, Paul Willems, CEO of the Ilford Group, stated: “Ilford Imaging Switzerland is known for its state-of-the-art product development and as a manufacturer of high quality products. With the company’s goal of expanding its customer base, it was important to align our business with a company that specializes in offering a total customer service. Tecco adds an important and strategic dimension to our business that will immediately benefit our customer base today and also in the future. Both the Tecco and the Ilford brand are very well established in their markets and both will continue to operate individually”
