Durst Group has acquired a majority stake in Triple C Labs, the company behind CoCoCo Platform, which is essential to the group’s industrial software and AI stack for connected print production.
CoCoCo Platform continues to operate as an independent entity under its existing brand, leadership and customer commitments, and remains fully open to third-party OEMs, software vendors and print production customers.
According to the company, the transaction is a targeted reinforcement of Kyveris, Durst Group’s industrial software and AI stack for connected print production. Kyveris provides the physics, colour and orchestration intelligence that drives data-driven production environments. CoCoCo Platform contributes the horizontal integration layer: a JDF- and JMF-based data fabric that connects presses, prepress systems and shop-floor software across manufacturers into one coherent production process.
Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group, said: “The right answer to complex production landscapes is rarely more machines. It is more clarity about the machines already running. CoCoCo built exactly that: a common data language that presses, prepress systems and shop-floor software can actually share. Dashboards, automation, AI assistants are all downstream questions. Get the data model right, and the rest follows. We are joining forces to accelerate the roadmap. And we are keeping CoCoCo Platform open, because a data fabric that is not open is not a fabric. It is a fence.”
Karl Ciz, co-founder CoCoCo Platform / Triple C Labs, added: “The team at CoCoCo is delighted to partner with Durst Group. From the first time we spoke, it was clear we shared a common vision for the connected future of print, and a partnership became inevitable. An open ecosystem isn’t just a strategic choice, but a prerequisite for meaningful innovation. While we are excited to reinforce Durst’s Kyveris stack with our data fabric, we remain truly agnostic and vendor neutral. This investment doesn’t restrict us, but rather accelerates our roadmap, allowing us to scale the CoCoCo Platform and reach many more third-party OEMs, software vendors, and PSPs worldwide.”
