Metris Rebrands to Nikon Metrology NV
(Nikon Metrology NV: Leuven, Belgium) -- The corporate name of Metris has been changed to Nikon Metrology NV. Under the Nikon brand, Nikon and Metris will synergize their respective strengths with regard to technology, marketing, and services, thereby delivering innovative metrology products with a broad application reach to its worldwide customer base.
Nikon Metrology uniquely blends Metris’ innovation leadership in micrometrology with a globally-recognized brand. The new organization yields the most complete metrology offering, as state-of-the-art Nikon 2.5D vision measuring systems excellently complement optical and mechanical Metris 3-D metrology solutions. Nikon’s strong company position guarantees future-proof investments and a secured growth path for continued product development and innovation. Nikon Metrology has a strong, well-balanced worldwide marketing, sales, and services organization in place.
“We are delighted to be able to trade under the flag of the powerful Nikon brand, facilitating and accelerating the global rollout of our optical metrology revolution,” says Bart Van Coppenolle, founder of Metris and today CEO of Nikon Metrology. “We look forward to further invest in future product development and customer support, leveraging the strength of a strong international technology group. Together, we will strengthen our leadership position as an optical metrology innovator, and firmly extend trade with our global customers and business partners.”
Complementary product portfolios
Always at the forefront of contactless 3-D inspection, Metris introduced groundbreaking innovations across the entire micrometrology spectrum: digital 3-D laser scanners, X-ray metrology with industrial computer tomography, in addition to laser radar and iGPS for large-scale metrology applications.
Nikon Instruments, a market leader in optical instrumentation, spans the accuracy range from several microns to submicron level. Automated NEXIV VMR vision inspection systems offer smart, premium optics for highly accurate 2.5D surface analysis. Measuring microscopes, optical comparators, and autocollimators are among other powerful Nikon dimensional metrology and industrial inspection solutions.
A global organization
Being part of the renowned Nikon organization will have a major effect on efficiently bringing metrology solutions to market on a worldwide scale. The Nikon Metrology products will be marketed by a worldwide sales, marketing, and services force, providing optimum coverage across Asia, Europe, and the United States. At the European Productronica 2009 trade show in Munich, Germany, on Nov. 10–13, Nikon Metrology will exhibit for the first time its widest metrology product range, creating market visibility for the new organization.
