Today marks a milestone for Allied Vision Technologies GmbH – its 30th anniversary. Founded in spring 1989 as Manfred Sticksel CCD-Kameratechnik GmbH in Alzenau near Frankfurt/Main, the company has evolved into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of machine vision cameras with facilities across Germany, Canada, the USA, Singapore, and China.

Three Decades of Excellence

Over its three decades of operation, Allied Vision has expanded to become a global leader in camera technology for industrial applications. The company now operates from eight locations worldwide and maintains a network of sales partners in more than 30 countries.

The introduction of Alvium represents another significant milestone – this award-winning series of cameras is specifically designed for advanced industrial embedded vision systems, positioning Allied Vision at the forefront of image processing innovation.

Customer-Centric Innovation

Allied Vision’s diverse product portfolio offers camera solutions for various industries including machine vision, scientific imaging, medical applications, and outdoor uses. The company has strengthened its capabilities through strategic acquisitions:

  • Acquisition of Prosilica, Inc. (Burnaby, BC) in 2008
  • Acquisition of VDS Vosskühler GmbH (Osnabrück, Germany) in 2011

These expansions reflect Allied Vision’s consistent focus on developing customer-centric solutions for challenging applications.

Part of a Global Technology Leader

Since 2015, Allied Vision has been part of the TKH Group – a forward-thinking Dutch technology organization specializing in image processing and security technologies. This strategic alignment provides enhanced resources to accelerate innovation:

“With revolutionary Alvium camera series and as part of a future-oriented technology group, we have the best resources to continue working on realizing our vision for Allied Vision,” notes Andreas Gerk, CEO of Allied Vision Technologies GmbH.
