JK Group S.p.A. operates as a key manufacturer and distributor of inks and consumables for the digital textile printing market. Headquartered in Novedrate, Italy, the company has established a global presence with operations in China and the United States.
In a significant milestone, JK Group was acquired by Dover Corporation in October 2015 and now functions as a stand-alone operating company within Dover's Printing & Identification platform. This acquisition was intended to leverage JK Group's reputation for customer service and technological development to accelerate growth in the digital textile printing sector. The company continues to be managed by its existing leadership team post-acquisition. Alberto De Matthaeis serves as the Managing Director of the group.
The company's business model is centered on serving the global digital textile printing market through its distinct brands: Kiian Digital, J-Teck 3, and Sawgrass Industrial. This market is experiencing rapid expansion as the textile industry transitions from analog to digital printing methods, driven by trends like fast fashion which demand shorter production times and reduced costs. JK Group is recognized for its specialization in dye sublimation and pigment ink technologies. Product development is market-driven, focusing on creating solutions for specific customer requirements.
There appears to be a separate, unrelated entity also named JK Group, headquartered in Germany, which specializes in wellness and spa products. This German group has a history extending over 90 years and focuses on developing products for wellness, lifestyle, and health under brands like Ergoline and Wellsystem. Their offerings include touchless hydrotherapy massage beds, full-body LED light therapy units, and medical ergometers.
