LOS ANGELES—  Esko is set to sell its Kongsberg cutting table  business to private equity  company  OpenGate Capital. Kongsberg was founded in Norway in 1965 and was purchased by Esko (then Barco) in 1998. The sale includes the original research and development facility in Kongsberg, Norway and the production facility in Brno, Czech Republic. Esko  makes integrated software and hardware products for the packaging, label and wide-format sectors. Esko  customers with Kongsberg systems will still be serviced with most of the  servicing employees moving over to the  new standalone company.
