In a strategic move set to reshape the industrial software landscape, CAI Software and Print ePS have announced a merger of equals, forming a unified enterprise under the CAI Software brand. The merger brings together decades of expertise in ERP and production management systems, with a shared vision to modernize manufacturing operations across diverse verticals.
The newly formed CAI Software will operate with three core divisions: Process Manufacturing, Discrete Manufacturing, and Graphic Communications. Print ePS will serve as the Graphic Communications Division, complementing CAI’s existing strengths and expanding its reach into the print production sector.
“By aligning two customer-centric software companies with complementary strengths, we are building a more dynamic and diversified organization,” said Brent Pietrzak, CEO of CAI Software. “This is about more than growth—it’s about setting new standards for innovation, reliability, and performance.”
Pietrzak is joined by CFO Cort Townsend, and together they lead a global team of over 800 employees across North America, Europe, and Asia. The merger is designed to meet the growing demand for flexible ERP solutions capable of handling modern manufacturing challenges—from supply chain orchestration to real-time analytics.
Strategic Backing from STG
The merger is backed by Symphony Technology Group (STG), a private equity firm that has invested in both CAI and Print ePS. STG Managing Partner William Chisholm and Managing Director Patrick Fouhy emphasized the strategic value of the integration.
“The combination of CAI Software and Print ePS merges two leaders with distinct heritages but a unified mission—creating powerful, future-focused software platforms that transform how specialized manufacturers operate,” said Chisholm. “We’re proud to support this new chapter of innovation and growth.”
STG’s continued investment reflects confidence in the role of ERP and digital production platforms in shaping the future of manufacturing. The firm has a track record of building scalable, data-driven software organizations, and CAI Software is now positioned as a cornerstone of its industrial technology portfolio.
