Quadient to acquire CDP Communications

French automation company Quadient is planning to acquire CDP Communications , a long-time partner known for its accessibility and document automation technology. The deal expands Quadient’s digital platform with tools that help enterprises produce compliant, accessible, and inclusive customer communications across print and digital channels.

CDP’s technology is used in regulated industries to convert high-volume documents into accessible formats, validate content against global accessibility standards, and streamline adaptation workflows. The acquisition comes as new regulations in Europe and North America require companies to make all digital content, including PDFs, fully accessible.

By integrating CDP into its automation portfolio, Quadient aims to accelerate product development and strengthen its CCM capabilities as it targets its Elevate to 2030 objectives. CDP’s team, based in Markham, Canada, will join Quadient to ensure continuity as the transaction closes in the coming days.

“Accessibility is not just a regulatory requirement, it’s a fundamental part of delivering clear and meaningful communications. CDP Communications has been a trusted partner for many years. By welcoming them into Quadient, we reinforce our commitment to digital innovation and to delivering advanced technology that places accessibility at the heart of every business transaction. We will be able to more directly serve our existing customers and help them comply with these new market drivers, notably the EU Accessibility Act, while competing for new customers with greater differentiation. Together, we will continue to serve as the gatekeeper that ensures business communication is inclusive and compliant, so our customers can stay focused on customer experience and long-term value.” – Geoffrey Godet, CEO of Quadient.
