Isra Vision Heralds Dawn of New Era With Construction of New HQ
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 project was designed by the local architecture firm fs Architekten. It will give ISRA VISION the space it needs for future development and a constantly growing workforce. Designed to the latest energy standards, the building will grow over time and will offer space for around 960 employees once fully constructed.
The plans for the new headquarters were put in place several years ago by company founder Enis Ersü, who recently retired from active professional life. In 2020, the globally active Atlas Copco group joined forces with ISRA VISION as a strategic partner, while also remaining committed to the plans for the new headquarters.
ISRA VISION’s new Chairman of the Executive Management Team, Tomas Lundin, was joined for the ceremony by company founder Enis Ersü, Chief Financial Officer Martin Heinrich and Mayor of Darmstadt Jochen Partsch. The start of construction of the new headquarters represents not only the beginning of a new chapter in the company’s history, but is also a sign of its dedication to the city and the local area. ISRA VISION was formed in 1985 as a spin-off of the Technical University of Darmstadt. 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. The groundbreaking ceremony is therefore also the start of a promising and successful future.
Despite its status as a global player, ISRA feels right at home in Darmstadt. The company has maintained close relations with the Technical University and the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, along with other research institutions like the Fraunhofer Institute. The start of construction also helps ISRA VISION position itself as an employer with an exciting future in the region, creating the best conditions to promote young talent. The new site is set to create countless new jobs, with the company looking for both fully trained specialists and talented youngsters in particular. Alongside this, consideration is also being given to providing a home and space to develop for start-ups that represent a good technological match for ISRA VISION at the premises.
The completion of the first construction section and moving in to the new headquarters are planned for the turn of the year 2022 / 2023.
