The financial year 2018 was extremely successful for Photonfocus AG. Sales increased by 23% compared to the previous year. The management has more than exceeded the estimated profit. This brilliant result was achieved through the constant development of the product portfolio, as well as through the expansion of distribution partnerships and the strengthening of the sales team of Photonfocus AG.

"We are very pleased with this positive sales development. This encourages us to continue our course and continue to invest in developing innovative products and expanding our worldwide distribution partnerships, "said Marcel Krist, CEO of Photonfocus. «Our employees have a great technical know-how and many years of experience in industrial image processing. Therefore, we were able to successfully implement numerous customer-specific projects. »

Expansion of production

The growing demand for Photonfocus CMOS cameras results in further investment in production capacity. Photonfocus is massively expanding the production area. In addition, the test procedure has been revised and optimized to keep the quality of the cameras high.

New camera platform MV4

A big success in 2018 was the presentation of the new MV4 camera platform at Vision 2018, the international trade fair for image processing in Stuttgart. The new camera platform not only convinces with its high-performance interface standards (GigE, 10GigE-Vision, copper and fiber optics), it also supports a multitude of CMOS sensors.
