CAI Software and Print ePS, a division of eProductivity Software, have announced a merger of equals to form a combined organisation under the CAI Software name. The move brings together two established providers of manufacturing ERP and production software, with the aim of enhancing innovation and performance across a range of specialised markets.
Print ePS will become the Graphic Communications business unit of CAI, joining the company’s existing Process Manufacturing and Discrete Manufacturing divisions. Meanwhile, the ePS Packaging division will operate separately as an independent software business focused on the packaging sector.
CAI Software has appointed Brent Pietrzak as chief executive officer and Cort Townsend as chief financial officer. “This merger creates tremendous opportunities for our clients, employees and partners,” said Mr Pietrzak. “By aligning our customer-centric strategies, we are building a more dynamic, diversified software leader.”
STG, the lead investor in both CAI and ePS, will continue its backing of the newly combined business. William Chisholm, managing partner, and Patrick Fouhy, managing director, at STG, said in a shared statement: “The combination of CAI Software and Print ePS brings together the strength of two industry leaders while opening an exciting new chapter.”
The merger expands CAI’s global presence, with more than 800 employees across North America, Europe, and Asia. The company said clients can expect continuity of service, increased investment in its product portfolio, and a continued focus on collaboration, innovation, and customer support.
