Coast-to-coast Acquisitions for Xanté

Mobile, Ala.-based Xanté Corp. plans to acquire both RIPit Imaging Systems, of Sacramento, and Exxtra Imaging Systems, of Hauppauge, N.Y. The companies have agreed on financial terms of both acquisitions, funds from Xanté are in escrow and the transactions should be completed within one week.

The buy will greatly expand Xanté’s product offerings, giving it one of the most complete line of prepress products and software solutions in the industry. RIPit provides software RIPs for prepress and graphic imaging markets, while Exxtra develops and produces metal, polyester and film computer-to-plate imaging equipment.
