STEMMER IMAGING agrees on cooperation with Nanjing Inovance Industrial Vision Technology and expands into the Chinese market

Puchheim, 13 August 2018 - STEMMER IMAGING, one of the leading providers of machine vision technology in Europe, has signed a far-reaching memorandum of understanding with regard to cooperation with the Chinese provider of machine vision technology, Nanjing Inovance Industrial Vision Technology. With this partnership, STEMMER IMAGING is entering one of the most dynamically growing automation markets.

STEMMER IMAGING AG (ISIN DE000A2G9MZ9/GSIN A2G9MZ) is announcing another milestone in line with its international growth strategy. STEMMER IMAGING has agreed on cooperation with Nanjing Inovance Industrial Vision Technology Development Co., Ltd. (Nanjing Inovance) in the form of a memorandum of understanding. Nanjing Inovance is a subsidiary of the publicly traded Shenzhen Inovance Technology Co., Ltd., one of the leading manufacturers of automation components in China.

With a view to automation solutions in general and machine vision systems in particular the Chinese market shows a high demand. The automation know-how, especially in the image processing sector, remains low. Both partners are therefore convinced that the cooperation will generate significant revenues with above-average growth rates in China. In particular, STEMMER IMAGING expects high sales potential for its self-developed machine vision software COMMON VISION BLOX.

"We have been observing the Chinese market for some time and are now delighted to have Nanjing Inovance as a strong partner at our side. Nanjing Inovance's profound market knowledge and extensive network will make it significantly easier for us to enter the market," says Lars Böhrnsen, CFO of STEMMER IMAGING AG.
