European grouping to improve imaging services
A
Stemmer Imaging product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 7, 2004
Firstsight Vision has joined a new group of companies headed by Stemmer Imaging of Germany, Europe's largest and most successful distributor in the sector.
Since starting over 7 years ago, Firstsight Vision has grown from simple roots into the foremost distributor of industrial and scientific vision components in the UK and Ireland.
Now the company has joined a new group of companies headed by Stemmer Imaging of Germany, Europe's largest and most successful distributor in the sector having been in business for over 30 years.
With a group turnover in excess of Eur 25 million and a significant overlap of product portfolio, the new group will improve the service to its customers by consolidating stock and ordering, thus enabling the companies to offer more products on significantly shorter lead times and at better pricing - along with enhanced technical information and support.
By taking advantage of the economy of scale provided by working at an European level, the company will be able to rapidly introduce a number of service enhancements including an innovative web-based technical support "knowledge base" and online access to product pricing and availability, some of which are not possible when operating solely at a local level.
By becoming part of the new group Firstsight Vision is well positioned to continue to lead the U.K machine vision market.
The management and staff in the Firstsight Vision Tongham office will remain unchanged and all customer interaction will continue to be handled via the UK operation as before.
Stemmer and Firstsight are not new acquaintances, Stemmer was a founding shareholder in the company from its inception and for the last three years Wilhelm Stemmer has been a nonexecutive Director of Firstsight Vision.
