With Durst’s acquisition of a majority stake in Triple C Labs GmbH, the company behind CoCoCo Platform, the company anticipates a stronger open ecosystem. CoCoCo Platform continues to operate as an independent entity under its existing brand, leadership and customer commitments, and remains fully open to third-party OEMs, software vendors and print production customers.
The transaction is a targeted reinforcement of Kyveris, Durst Group’s industrial software and AI stack for connected print production. Kyveris provides the physics, colour and orchestration intelligence that turns installed presses into data-driven production environments. CoCoCo Platform contributes the horizontal integration layer that completes the picture: a JDF- and JMF-based data fabric that connects presses, prepress systems and shop-floor software across manufacturers into one coherent, AI-ready production graph.
Together, Kyveris and CoCoCo Platform close the gap between what a machine does and what a production floor knows. Physics meets flow, Colour meets context, and data becomes decisions.
CoCoCo’s core is a typed, event-driven data model with standardised entities. Presses, prepress systems and shop-floor software agree on what a Job, a Product, or a Resource is, in real time. Everything above that layer, from dashboards to automation to agentic AI, is a downstream consumer of the same live structure. It is a technical decision with a strategic consequence: modern AI systems can reason about a print operation with the same reliability they reason about code or text.
Independence by design, openness by tradition. CoCoCo Platform will remain vendor-neutral and open to the wider print industry. In the tradition of open standards that has shaped this sector, CoCoCo continues to serve third parties, including competing OEMs and software partners. They will benefit indirectly from the accelerated development that majority ownership by Durst Group now makes possible.
Christoph Gamper, CEO and Co-Owner of Durst Group said, ‘The right answer to complex production landscapes is rarely more machines. It is more clarity about the machines already running. CoCoCo built exactly that: a common data language that presses, prepress systems and shop-floor software can actually share. Dashboards, automation, AI assistants are all downstream questions. Get the data model right, and the rest follows. We are joining forces to accelerate the roadmap. And we are keeping CoCoCo Platform open, because a data fabric that is not open is not a fabric. It is a fence.’
