Quadient announced the signing of an agreement to acquire CDP Communications, a recognized innovator in document accessibility, compliance, and communication automation. The acquisition strengthens Quadient’s digital automation portfolio at a time when regulatory pressure in Europe and North America is driving organizations to ensure that all customer-facing content, including PDF documents, is fully accessible.

As companies prepare for mandates such as the EU Accessibility Act, demand is rising for solutions that can make high-volume customer communications accessible, compliant, and inclusive. CDP Communications has built a strong reputation in this field, helping organizations transform complex data streams into communication-ready formats, automate validation against global accessibility standards, and securely archive and retrieve digital and print documents.

“Accessibility is not just a regulatory requirement, it’s a fundamental part of delivering clear and meaningful communications,” said Geoffrey Godet, CEO of Quadient. “By welcoming CDP Communications into Quadient, we reinforce our commitment to digital innovation and to placing accessibility at the heart of every business transaction. This acquisition allows us to serve customers even more directly while differentiating ourselves as compliance requirements evolve.”

The integration of CDP’s technology into Quadient’s intelligent automation platform will enhance the company’s flagship Customer Communications Management (CCM) capabilities, which IDC has recognized as the number one solution in the market. With CDP’s expertise, Quadient will strengthen its ability to deliver compliant, accessible, and personalized communications across digital and print channels, helping enterprises meet both regulatory obligations and customer experience expectations.

CDP Communications’ team, primarily based in Markham, Canada, will join Quadient’s Canadian operations to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of service. The transaction is expected to close within the coming days, marking a significant step in Quadient’s Elevate to 2030 strategic plan and its continued investments in secure, sustainable, and future-ready communication technologies.
