AES Data Inc is to lose its executive vice president to Daisy Systems Holland BV after the $11.5m a year printer company was acquired by its managing director, Jan Cornelisse. The Dutch computer printer firm was bought from its Canadian parent AES and now has Cornelisse as its majority shareholder. Hector Beens, managing director of venture capital firms PAMI BV and Gelders Beheer BV, holds a further unspecified number of shares. Daisy, formed 10 years ago after its predecessor company went bankrupt, claims to be Europe’s largest specialist printer company and says it has extended its range over the past year to include inkjet, dot matrix and laser systems. It also boasts the development of a new range of Braille printers for the visually handicapped together with what is termed a revolutionary scanning printer. Cornelisse forecasts revenues of $12.5m during this calendar year and reckons on a 20% increase in 1988. At the moment Daisy – which opened a UK sales office earlier this year – is in the final stages of negotiations with an unnamed Japanese printer company that is looking for a European manufacturing and assembly facility to get around EEC anti-dumping restrictions. An announcement on this is expected shortly.
