Imaging technology developer Chromasens GmbH has joined the Lakesight Technologies Group. The group aims to build up a world-leading provider of industrial image processing solutions. Members benefit from extensive synergy effects such as a broader product portfolio, expanded sales and more resources for the development of innovative products. Chromasens will remain an independent company with Martin Hund and Markus Schnitzlein as its two managing directors. The integration was made possible by Ambienta, the largest European private equity fund specializing in environmental investments. “Having Chromasens as a new member of Lakesight is a further step towards the creation of a global leading platform in the machine vision sector,” said Mauro Roversi, partner and chief investment officer at Ambienta. “Chromasens fits perfectly with Lakesight as it is complementary on all levels, from the product portfolio to the sales channels and the R&D capabilities,” said Giancarlo Beraudo, principal at Ambienta. Chromasens provides Lakesight with a complementary portfolio of line-scan machine vision cameras and access to 3D and hyperspectral technologies. “As part of Lakesight, we will continue our growth path through investment in new technologies, developing customized projects with blue-chip customers and expanding our international sales leveraging Lakesight’s resources and sales network,” said Hund. Chromasens is a developer of image capturing and processing systems.
