MVTec Software GmbH, one of the leading international manufacturers of image processing software, is strengthening its sales activities in France and the French-speaking regions of Belgium and Switzerland. To this end, the existing sales office has been transformed into a subsidiary with effect from January 1, 2023. From Lyon, MVTec customers in these regions will benefit from even closer service directly from the manufacturer. Martin Krumey, Vice President Sales at MVTec, comments: " We have already been active for many years with strong partners in the French-speaking machine vision markets of Western and Central Europe. These markets are developing very dynamically and are highly innovative. We intend to continue stimulating these innovations with our partners and our software products, and now also with MVTec's on-site technical expertise."
MVTec develops and offers the following software products: Halcon, the comprehensive standard software for machine vision, Merlic, easy-to-use software with which complete machine vision applications can be created, and the Deep Learning Tool, with which image data for MVTec's deep learning methods can be easily labeled.
MVTec draws on French expertise
MVTec's first employees in France are Martin Delabre and Marc Dumont. " With Martin and Marc, we have gained two proven experts in the field of machine vision and automation in France. This enables our customers to benefit from optimum local service. " explains Mr. Krumey. Martin Delabre has held various engineering positions in the machine vision sector in France over the past ten years, and will now be working for MVTec as a pre-sales engineer. " I've been familiar with MVTec and its products for some time now. In my new role, I want to help customers exploit the full potential of MVTec's software products for their applications. " explains Mr. Delabre. Marc Dumont has worked for over 25 years in technical sales for companies in the mechanical engineering and automotive sectors. He took up the position of Sales Director at MVTec in January 2023. " The machine vision market in France needs specialists. MVTec has 25 years' expertise in developing hardware-independent software products for machine vision. This is an advantage for customers" explains Dumont.
Getting closer to the customer by providing on-site advice
MVTec has been present on the French market for many years with partners, and since January 2021 with a sales office. With the transformation of the sales office into a subsidiary, the French site and the French-speaking regions of Belgium and Switzerland gain in importance for MVTec. The company sees enormous growth potential for machine vision applications here. This requires local customer service. Martin Krumey describes MVTec's internationalization strategy: " Image processing is a complex and technically demanding field. This complexity leads to a high demand for advice. At MVTec, we therefore place great importance on intensive consulting with customers to understand and solve their problems and challenges. Thanks to the technical expertise of our new employees in France, we are now in a position to provide on-site advice on the optimum development of machine vision applications." .
