Durst Group Acquires Majority Stake in CoCoCo Platform to Strengthen Its Kyveris Software and AI Technology Ecosystem
July 8, 2026, Brickson – Durst Group announced that it has acquired a majority stake in Triple C Labs GmbH, the parent company of CoCoCo Platform. CoCoCo Platform will continue to operate as an independent entity, keeping its existing brand, management team, and customer commitments, while remaining fully open to third-party OEMs, software providers, and print production customers.
This deal aims to precisely strengthen Durst Group's Kyveris-the industrial software and AI technology system for connected printing production. Kyveris provides smart capabilities in physical engines, color management, and workflow orchestration, turning installed printing equipment into a data-driven production environment. The CoCoCo Platform fills the horizontal integration layer, completing the picture: a data architecture based on JDF and JMF standards connecting printing equipment, prepress systems, and shop floor software from different manufacturers into a coherent, intelligent production map.
The combination of Kyveris and the CoCoCo Platform bridges the gap between "what the machines are doing" and "what the production floor knows." Physical processes meet workflows, color meets context, and data turns into decisions.
Built on data, not on applications
At its core, CoCoCo has a data model built on a type system and event mechanism, with standardized entities. Printing equipment, prepress systems, and shop floor software reach real-time consensus on what a "job," "product," or "resource" is. Everything on top of this layer-from control panels to automation to AI agents-is simply a downstream consumer of the same real-time data structure. This is a strategically important tech decision: for modern AI, analyzing printing operations is as reliable as analyzing code or text.
Designed to stay independent, traditionally open
The CoCoCo Platform will continue to remain vendor-neutral and open to the broader printing industry. Following the tradition of shaping the industry with open standards, CoCoCo continues to serve third parties, including competing OEMs and software partners. They will indirectly benefit from the accelerated development that comes from Durst Group's majority stake: faster releases, wider integration, deeper data models, stronger-but not more closed-ecosystems.
Durst Group CEO and co-owner Christoph Gamper stated:
"The right answer for complex production environments isn't more machines. It's a clearer understanding of the equipment you already have in operation. That's exactly what CoCoCo builds: a universal data language that printing equipment, prepress systems, and shop floor software can truly share. Control panels, automation, AI assistants come afterward. If the data model is right, everything else falls into place naturally. We collaborate to accelerate the product roadmap, while keeping the CoCoCo Platform open, because a data architecture that isn't open isn't an architecture-it's a wall."
CoCoCo Platform / Triple C Labs GmbH co-founder Karl Ciz said:
"The CoCoCo team is thrilled to work with Durst Group. From our first conversation, it was clear that we share a common vision for the future of connected printing, making collaboration inevitable. An open ecosystem is not just a strategic choice; it's a prerequisite for meaningful innovation. We're excited to strengthen Durst's Kyveris technology stack with our data architecture, while maintaining true neutrality and vendor independence. This investment won't limit us; instead, it will accelerate our roadmap, allowing us to expand the CoCoCo Platform to reach more third-party OEMs, software providers, and print service providers worldwide."
