ISRA VISION Heralds Dawn of a New Era as Construction of New Headquarters Begins

Published: August 18, 2021

More than three decades ago, ISRA VISION was founded as a spin-off of TU Darmstadt and developed into a world-leading machine vision technology company in the subsequent years.

The founder and CEO of ISRA VISION, Enis Ersü, stepped back from active professional life at the end of June. As part of the company’s succession planning, ISRA VISION entered a strategic partnership with the Swedish industrial group Atlas Copco, forming the heart of the new Machine Vision Solutions division.

ISRA VISION AG is marking the dawn of a new era of growth with a traditional groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction of its new headquarters building in Darmstadt, Germany. The new headquarters is located on a property measuring around 15,000 square meters in the city’s “Knell” development district with its historic water tower at Frankfurter Straße. Set to be constructed in two stages, it will consist of three connected buildings housing offices and development laboratories, as well as demonstration and assembly halls.

The preliminary work was done with the help of Felix Schneider from Gerhard.Architekten in Darmstadt and Horst Ulrich Werb on behalf of Schindler & Werb AG, allowing the foundation stone of the new building to be placed together with the planners and tradespeople involved in the project.

Together with its subsidiaries, ISRA VISION AG has grown to become the world leader in surface inspection of web materials. It is also one of the world’s leading providers of image processing (machine vision), specializing in 3D machine vision, especially for 3D robot vision. With its new strategic partner Atlas Copco, the ambitious company has big plans.

Designed with environmental protection in mind, the headquarters will be built in line with the Effizienzhaus 55 standards (an energy standard for buildings, introduced by KfW). It will also feature a high proportion of green spaces and charging facilities for electric vehicles and bicycles, and will be constructed using clean, low-noise methods.

The completion of the first construction section and moving into the new headquarters are planned for the turn of the year 2022/2023.
