Stemmer Imaging acquires Data Vision

Data Vision, a business unit of Batenburg Mechatronica B.V., is one of the most established brands in Benelux's imaging and machine vision industry and has been successfully providing machine vision components, systems and products for many years.

Harm Hanekamp, managing director of Data Vision says: "The acquisition by Stemmer Imaging is the logical next step in serving this market segment. By being part of the Stemmer Imaging Group, Data Vision will reach the next level and we can now follow our customers into Europe and benefit from Stemmer Imaging's larger product range, and superior level of competence. Our corporate cultures are very similar and we know each other very well. This will strengthen services available for customers in the Benelux countries who will have access to the support and security they need to continue to develop their vision applications with our help."

Dietmar Serb©e, Director of Stemmer Imaging B.V. emphasises the growth opportunities of the combined entity: "Stemmer Imaging's and Data Vision's product portfolio have a high degree of overlap in terms of suppliers represented. Thus, the businesses perfectly complement each other."

According to Mr Serb©e, machine vision components manufacturers will also benefit from the merger: "The acquisition of Data Vision by Stemmer Imaging is also beneficial for our suppliers, due to the doubling of the sales and support workforce through a competent partner with a high degree of market know-how and technical expertise. As one of Europe's largest imaging technology providers, this enables us to support the technological developments of our manufacturers even better for the benefit of our customers."
