The founder and CEO of ISRA VISION, Enis Ersü, is to retire from operational professional life. In the course of succession planning, ISRA has entered into a strategic partnership with the Swedish industry group Atlas Copco and forms the nucleus of the new Machine Vision Solutions division.

A new three-member management team consists of the two well-known ISRA VISION Executive Board members Hans Jürgen Christ and Dr Johannes Giet and the new speaker of the Executive Board Tomas Lundin.

Mr Lundin worked for the Atlas Copco Group for over 20 years in various management positions. He will lead the new division as President Machine Vision Solutions from the headquarters in Darmstadt.

As a separate "Machine Vision Solutions" division in Atlas Copco's Industrial Technique business area, ISRA will continue to operate from its headquarters in Darmstadt.

The company is building a new headquarters in the north of Darmstadt. The move-in is scheduled for the end of 2022.

Atlas Copco is also adding the previously acquired image processing and visual quality control specialist Quiss GmbH and the US company Perceptron, which specializes in automated measurement technology, to the new division.

The product portfolios complement each other perfectly and global customers will have a technologically leading and reliable partner for the customized development of innovative machine vision applications.

The goal is to continue to grow in the future with the two business units Smart Factory Automation and Surface Inspection and, as one of the world market leaders for machine vision, to provide global customers with the latest technologies with optimal ROI in the shortest possible time.
