Ambienta, the largest European private equity fund specialised in environmental investments, is pleased to announce the purchase of Mikrotron, a German-based leader in high-speed machine vision cameras. Mikrotron, together with Tattile, which Ambienta purchased in 2012, will constitute the core of LakeSight Technologies, the consolidation project backed by Ambienta aimed at building a European leader in the machine vision sector. Machine vision systems, typically used in quality inspection and automation solutions for industrial processes, are crucial in reducing unnecessary processing, thus improving energy and materials efficiency.
