Continuing its systematic growth strategy, Stemmer Imaging, the machine vision technology provider for science and technology, has announced the acquisition of the Spanish group Infaimon.
With its headquarters in Barcelona and offices in Portugal, Mexico and Brazil, Infaimon is a machine vision and imagine recognition specialist with particular expertise in bin picking. Playing a key role in smart factories and Industry 4.0, Infaimon subsystems are used in the automation of production and logistics processes. For example, industrial robots are used here to pick up a preprocessed blank from a production line and place it at the next machining point for further processing.
Under the agreement, Stemmer Imaging will acquire all shares in Infaimon for "a sum in the low tens of millions of euros". Stemmer management expects the acquisition to result in an additional €18-million.
“With the acquisition of Infaimon, we are now represented in almost all major European markets. Infaimon meets our requirements for acquisitions in the best possible way. We will immediately broaden our sales network, expand our product and service range with innovative technologies, and gain a high-margin company. The Infaimon locations in Brazil and Mexico will give us opportunities to advance into other regions such as the USA in the future,” says Arne Dehn, CEO of Stemmer Imagine.
"We are delighted that the transaction has been successfully finalised and that we are now part of a larger and even more internationalised group. This will enable us to leverage the great potential for bin picking applications in the European market in a timely and efficient manner," says Salvador Giro, CEO of Infaimon S.L.
