Coherix Forms Joint Venture in China
Expansion in Asia positions company for strategic growth
Ann Arbor, Michigan, January 15, 2016 — Coherix, Inc., a global leader in three dimensional (3D) machine vision, today announced the formation of a joint venture in China. The move will further expand service in China and other Asian markets, and eventually create a regional manufacturing hub.
“We have worked in China for the past five years, assessing the size of the market for Coherix products,” said Dwight Carlson, CEO and chairman of Coherix, Inc. “We anticipate that China will become our largest market within five years. We are excited about launching this joint venture in China.”
Initially, the joint venture will focus on marketing the existing Coherix Robust 3D machine vision products to the automotive industry in China and throughout Asia. The product line will include Predator3D™, Robust3D™, Saber3D™ and ShaPix3D® systems. Coherix intends to expand operations into the semiconductor, precision manufacturing and aerospace markets as well as other industries. In addition, the company plans to refine the 3D machine vision products to better suit the needs of local markets.
“The manufacturing industry is shifting to 3D machine vision technology for error proofing, which is more robust and reliable than the traditional 2D solutions,” said Dr. Zhenhua Huang, General Manager of the joint venture. “In China, 3D technology is still fairly new and less available, but there’s a growing demand for advanced machine vision technology, and we are excited to bring it to market. It’s an exceptional opportunity for Coherix and will bring a great deal of benefits to manufacturers in Asia.”
