CERM, a global provider of MIS solutions for the labels and package printing industry, has acquired OMIKAI Systems from Sweden. OMIKAI has built and commercialized a state-of-the-art cloud native MIS solution for the print and packaging industry.

Since regaining its independence through a management buyout in 2020, CERM has significantly grown its global presence and market share. Based on that growth, CERM has invested since 2022 in developing a next-generation cloud platform that will offer label and packaging converters the option to evolve from the current CERM product portfolio to a cloud-based MIS solution.

CERM acquired OMIKAI with a view to accelerating its cloud product development that will be commercialized in the coming years. CERM will continue to offer its current range of MIS solutions, known for their versatility, industry focus, continuous product evolution and integration capabilities with industry partners.

The acquisition will not result in any changes for existing OMIKAI customers and partners.

“We have been strongly impressed with the cloud MIS product and service offering of OMIKAI and believe our companies have a similar vision, customer focus, and culture,” states Jan Heyse, CERM’s CEO. “Joining forces will strengthen our cloud product development and create additional value for our customers. We welcome the entire OMIKAI team to CERM and eagerly look forward to further accelerating the business, growing our joint team, and expanding our product offering.”

Mathias Erlandsson, founder of OMIKAI, comments, “I am incredibly excited about this new chapter for OMIKAI. As an entrepreneur, I’ve always believed that innovation and a personal commitment to our customers are at the heart of success. Together with CERM, we now have a unique opportunity to accelerate our mission and deliver even more innovative digital solutions to the printing, label, and packaging industry. I look forward to building on our legacy of excellence and creating even greater value for our customers, partners, and friends. This is not just a business move – it’s a shared journey toward an even brighter future.”
