Competing Offer for Amazys
REGENSDORF, SWITZERLAND—Eichhof Holding AG has thrown its hat in the ring to acquire Amazys Holding, parent company of GretagMacbeth, via a competing tender offer.

Amazys develops, markets and supports hardware, software and services to measure and communicate color under the GretagMacbeth brand.
