Koch Industries Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s private-equity unit are near an agreement to buy printing-ink maker Flint Group from CVC Capital Partners Ltd., people familiar with the matter said.

The deal may be announced as early as this week, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the process isn’t public. The purchase price is likely to be more than Flint’s annual sales of 2.2 billion euros ($3 billion) last year, one of the people said.
