This steps completes the integration process of both companies.
The new Chief Executive Officer of Allied Vision Technologies Canada is Michael Cyros, who also heads AVT's subsidiary in the USA, Allied Vision Technologies. Cyros is now in charge of the whole American operations of AVT, which includes the Burnaby, BC R&D and production site as well as the Newburyport, MA sales office.

Allied Vision Technologies acquired Prosilica in July 2008. The Canadian camera manufacturer had successfully established itself in the market by pioneering the technology of digital cameras with Gigabit Ethernet interface (GigE Vision). Prosilica's GigE Vision product lineup and sales channels have been fully integrated into Allied Vision Technologies' camera range since 2009.
