Durst acquires majority stake in CoCoCo Platform, strengthens AI software portfolio

Durst Group has acquired a majority stake in Triple C Labs GmbH, the developer of CoCoCo Platform, strengthening its Kyveris industrial software and AI portfolio for connected print production.

Under the agreement, CoCoCo Platform will continue to operate independently under its existing brand and management while remaining open to third-party OEMs, software vendors, and print production companies. Durst said the acquisition is intended to accelerate development of the platform while preserving its vendor-neutral approach.

The acquisition complements Kyveris, Durst’s software platform for connected digital print production, by adding CoCoCo’s JDF- and JMF-based integration technology. Together, the platforms are designed to connect presses, prepress systems, and shop-floor software into a unified data environment that supports workflow automation, production visibility, and AI-driven decision-making.

According to Durst, CoCoCo’s event-driven data model enables production equipment and software from multiple manufacturers to share standardized production data, creating a common foundation for automation, analytics, and artificial intelligence applications.

Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group, comments, “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.”
