IRVINE, CA \u2013 November 9, 2015 \u2013 Printronix Inc., a worldwide leader in industrial printing solutions, today announces that it has reached an agreement to sell its Thermal\/AIDC business to TSC Auto ID Technology Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 3611.TWO)\n\nTSC will acquire all intellectual and branding rights to Printronix\u2019 Industrial Thermal stationary and mobile printers, barcode verification, RFID, and PrintCart product lines that will operate post-closing as a stand-alone company called Printronix Auto-ID Inc.\n\n\u201cOur strategy to accelerate the growth potential for Printronix\u2019 Thermal business and to present a broader choice of solutions to our enterprise customers drove our decision to sell the Thermal business to TSC Auto ID. TSC\u2019s strength in AIDC product development, its breadth of product portfolio, the ability to expand Printronix\u2019 commercial footprint, especially in Asia, and the ability to get economies of scale within the supply chain, made TSC Auto ID a logical choice,\u201d said Printronix Chief Executive Officer Werner Heid.\n\n\u201cThe acquisition of the Printronix Thermal\/AIDC Business presents tremendous opportunities for both companies, its partners, and its end-user base,\u201d said Sam Wang, President of TSC Auto ID. \u201cThe two companies are extremely complementary from Product, Channel, and Technology perspectives. Printronix\u2019s recognized excellence in the Industrial printing segments is the optimal addition to TSC\u2019s strong base in desktop printing. Additionally, Printronix\u2019s strength in the Americas and EMEA will also help both companies accelerate growth in these regions. We are very excited to be joined by our new team members, and to create a broader and more competitive product offering for both customer bases.\u201d\n\nThe retained business will operate as Printronix, LLC, focusing on our core impact technology, where Printronix holds the leading global position.\n\nHeid said \u201cThe sales of the Printronix Thermal business will enable us to maximize the business opportunity for the remaining impact printing business, which continues to offer significant value in terms of unmatched reliability, lowest cost of operation, robust media handling and inherent \u2018green\u2019 benefits. Furthermore it allows us to partner with our enterprise customers and leverage our intellectual property to expand our product & service offerings into adjacent printing markets and to invest in new emerging industrial printing opportunities.\n\nThe transaction is scheduled to be completed by January 2016.\n\nAbout Printronix Inc.\n\nPrintronix is a global leader in industrial printing solutions, offering the most-trusted selection of ultra-reliable printers, supplies, service and parts for environments demanding high reliability and low-cost printing.
