Agfa-Gevaert Reports Strong Second Quarter Due to Graphics Business

In August 2010, Agfa Graphics announced the successful completion of the acquisition of the assets of the Harold M. Pitman Company, a leading US supplier of prepress, industrial inkjet, pressroom and packaging printing products and systems. The acquisition will allow Agfa Graphics to strengthen its distribution power and expand its presence in the growing US industrial printing industry. It will boost Agfa Graphics' revenue in the US to over $500 million.
