Euresys technology complements TKH’s existing and differentiating proprietary Machine Vision technologies, and adds strong software expertise, interface technologies and know-how to our capabilities. We welcome Euresys in our Smart Vision systems segment and look forward to working together to further grow TKH.”

Marc Damhaut, CEO of Euresys: “We are delighted to join TKH and with our industry leading frame grabbers expand the capabilities in the markets we are jointly active in to a full suite of smart vision technologies. We see an excellent fit with TKH to combine our strengths and potential to accelerate growth together with the complementary technologies and the leverage of the combined international geographical footprint.”

In 2022, Euresys realized a turnover of € 27 million. TKH finances the transaction from existing resources. The transaction is not subject to regulatory approval and has been closed. TKH expects that the acquisition will have a positive effect on TKH's earnings per share as per 2023.
