INX International Ink Co. has successfully completed the acquisition of Servicom New Zealand Limited, effective today. INX has also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Galaxy Inks & Coatings Australia Pty Ltd. That transaction is expected to close by the end of May, subject to customary closing conditions.

Servicom New Zealand, established in 2004 and led by founder Stephen Southon, has built a strong reputation as an innovative provider and the sole distributor of INX products in New

Zealand. The company supplies high-performance inks for sheetfed offset, UV, heatset, and

two-piece and three-piece metal decorating, along with a comprehensive range of aqueous, UV, and metal decorating coatings.

Galaxy Inks & Coatings Australia, founded in 1994 by Paul Hidajat and based in Sydney, is the exclusive distributor of INX products in Australia. Galaxy provides premium packaging inks, advanced inkjet solutions for digital printing, and a full suite of inks and coatings services, including color matching, supply chain management systems, and technical troubleshooting.

“These acquisitions represent a significant milestone in our strategy to enhance INX’s market presence and capabilities in Australia and New Zealand,” said Blair Welch, INX Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand. 

Welch, a 33-year veteran of the printing industry who joined INX last July, added, “With Servicom now fully integrated and Galaxy soon to follow, INX is positioned to streamline operations, enhance customer support, and accelerate growth throughout the region.”

INX International Ink Co. is the third largest producer of inks and coatings in North America, with full-service subsidiaries in Europe and South America and is part of SAKATA INX worldwide operations. They offer a complete line of ink and coating solutions technology for commercial, packaging and digital applications.
