Teledyne Technologies’ (Thousand Oaks, CA, USA) planned acquisition of Adimec Holdings B.V. (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) adds specialized cameras to the technology conglomerate’s portfolio.
Adimec, founded in 1992, produces cameras and lens assemblies in small batches (50-500 cameras/year) for OEMS in semiconductor and electronics inspection; imaging applications in healthcare, such as in X-ray, digital pathology and next generation sequencing; and defense, such as long-range observation and situational awareness systems.
Edwin Roks, CEO of Teledyne, explains the acquisition by saying, "Adimec possesses uniquely complementary technology, products and customers in the shared strategic focus areas of healthcare, global defense, and semiconductor and electronics inspection. For decades and from our own X-ray imaging business headquartered in Eindhoven, I have watched Adimec grow to become a leader in niche applications requiring truly accurate images for precise decision making in time-critical processes."
In addition to the Netherlands, Adimec also has offices in Singapore, Japan, Korea, China, and the United States.
