518 Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) has acquired 100% of the shares of the specialist infrared camera producer 5839 VDS Vosskühler, based in Osnabrück, Germany. Effective immediately, the acquisition increases AVT’s portfolio by the addition of Near Infrared (NIR) and Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) camera technologies, as well as extensive competencies in the area of active camera cooling.

“We have been following the NIR and the LWIR markets for a long time already and see large growth potential,” says Frank Grube, AVT’s CEO. “The road to continued above-average growth is now paved, a similar way as we successfully showed after the acquisition and successful integration of the Canadian camera producer Prosilica more than two years ago. More technologically leading product developments of infrared cameras and the ramp up of the business in this growth market can be expected,” Grube said.
