States
ProPhotonix Limited, (London Stock Exchange - AIM: PPIX and
PPIR, OTC: STKR.PK), a designer and manufacturer of LED
Illumination Systems, laser diode modules as well as a distributor
of premium vendors' laser diodes, is pleased to announce that it
has strengthened further its international sales operations for its
machine vision illumination solutions with the appointment of three
new distribution partners based in Asia, Europe and the United
States. These agreements build on the Company's strong position
within the machine vision markets in North America and Europe, as
well as its increasing footprint in the Far East.
Machine Vision systems enable the inspection of products
throughout the manufacturing process and allow manufacturers to
ensure that their products conform to the exact specifications to
which they were initially designed.
NexLase, based in Munich, has been named as a distributor of
ProPhotonix's Machine Vision illumination products in Germany.
NexLase was founded in 2005 and specializes in the distribution of
laser and other application specific accessories including optics
and laser safety devices. Nevis, located in Taiwan, is a
full-service engineering and technology provider known for
supplying its customers with customized turnkey solutions. Nevis
will be integrating ProPhotonix's laser and LED illumination
products into its end-user applications. Saber1, founded in 2001
and located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, provides a single
destination for customers looking to source vision components
including software, cameras, frame grabbers and other components
from major manufacturers worldwide.
Mark W. Blodgett, Chairman and CEO of ProPhotonix, said,
"ProPhotonix is widely recognized as a leader in designing and
manufacturing LED systems and laser modules for the machine vision
illumination market and we view Germany, Taiwan and the US as key
growth markets for our products. Adding such high-caliber business
partners in these areas will help us gain market share and
accelerate growth in these regions, added Blodgett."
