Uster Technologies has announced the successful closure of the acquisition of Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. (EVS), a world-leading high-technology supplier for automated vision inspection in the textile industry. The Uster Group is the leading high-technology instrument manufacturer of products for quality measurement and certification for the textile industry.

The acquisition expands Uster’s competencies in quality control and strengthens its product portfolio. EVS’s products are used to automatically locate, label, and trace defects of fabric and web products, and ultimately to grade the quality and determine the value of the produced goods.

Thomas Nasiou, chief executive officer of Uster said, “I am delighted that we are now able to finalise this major milestone, which embodies the strengthening of Uster’s activities across the globe. The access to innovative technology and the enhanced presence will enable us to strengthening our offering to customers, and offer new, interesting perspectives to the colleagues of Uster and EVS. The acquisition fits perfectly into our vision to be the world’s leading supplier of quality solutions for the textile industry from fibre to fabric.”

Sam Cohen, CEO of EVS said, “I am proud of the progress we have made during the last few years in improving our products and services leading to increased customer satisfaction, expanding our footprint while delivering on our financial targets. Now, I am very much looking forward to continue working for EVS, now part of Uster, and combining our offering. I believe that we will demonstrate the potential to provide our customers with new, innovative products that can address unmet needs.” (GK)
