We're celebrating a special anniversary:
30 years ago, on May 1, 1995, VMT Vision Machine Technic Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH was founded. What began with a small, dedicated team and a clear vision has grown into a globally successful provider of industrial image processing systems.
In the early years, we were already able to install our first system solutions across Germany. Success quickly followed – our office space soon became too small. In 1998, we moved into our new location in Weinheim, which included our own control cabinet production, a first technical center with a robot, and a development department that laid the foundation for our current system solutions.
We’ve grown – in Germany and worldwide
The small team evolved into a company with branches in Germany, Spain, and China. The continuous expansion of our office and warehouse space showed one thing clearly: we’re continuing to grow – and sustainably. In 2006, we became part of the Pepperl+Fuchs Group. With the move to Mannheim, we were able to significantly expand our capacities: a modern building, a spacious technical center, in-house mechanical production, warehouse, and training center – ideal conditions for our continued growth.
Moving forward together – globally
Close collaboration with Pepperl+Fuchs has further strengthened us as a global provider. Today, our systems are used worldwide – in the automotive industry, general manufacturing, logistics, and the life sciences sector. Our own subsidiaries in China, the USA, and Mexico, as well as new service locations in India (2023) and Hungary (2024), ensure we are close to our customers – wherever they are in the world.
The integration of Espace 6D GmbH in 2021 expanded our portfolio to include mobile 3D metrology – another step toward digitalization and Industry 4.0.
Looking ahead
30 years of VMT – three decades full of ideas, projects, and milestones. Our drive has always been, and continues to be, developing the best solutions for our customers – reliable, innovative, and in true partnership.
We thank all employees, customers, and partners for their trust and the great collaboration.
