MARCH 10--Machine-vision supplier Imperx (Boca Raton, FL; www.imperx.com) has opened a software-development and customer-support office in Moscow, Russia, and staffed it with engineers from the Russian aerospace industry. "These engineers have solid expertise and diverse experience, which allows them to take on the most challenging tasks," says Imperx president and CEO Petko Dinev. "Our new Moscow office's mission is to support all Imperx' software-development needs," Dinev continues, "including drivers, applications, software-development kits, and test programs, and to provide technical support to all of our clients."
The Moscow branch office employs five technical staffers, including general manager Oleg Margorin, who is also the senior software developer. He says, "We look forward to helping our Asian and European customers get the most out of their machine-vision investments. Our geographic location is perfect for serving customers in European and Asian time zones, and support logistics will be faster and easier than they would be from a center in Florida."
Imperx designs, develops, and manufactures advanced imaging products used in the machine vision, medical, and defense, surveillance, and astronomy markets. Imperx' manufacturing facilities are certified for ISO 9002 compliance.
