Computer vision expert Basler acquires its two long-standing Korean trading partners DATVISION and IOVIS and thus expands its direct business in Asia. The acquisitions are an important step in the company's growth strategy. Ahrensburg, 17 December, 2021 - Basler AG, a leading manufacturer in the computer vision sector, announces the acquisition of its long-standing sales partners DATVISION and IOVIS in Korea. The differently structured acquisitions are each expected to be completed on January 7, 2022. With these transactions, Basler continues to consistently expand its direct business in Asia, having already acquired the distributor MVLZ in China three years ago. In addition, the company is taking a further step in its expansion strategy of its product portfolio towards becoming a full-range supplier. Alexander Temme, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Basler AG, explains: "Basler has been consistently expanding its product and service portfolio for several years now and has meanwhile transformed itself from a camera manufacturer to a full-range provider.
