VIOSO acquires rival provider of auto-alignment solutions

Düsseldorf-based company VIOSO, a global provider of automated alignment solutions for projection and visual systems, has acquired domeprojection.com.

The deal will strengthen the positions of both companies as providers of auto-alignment solutions.

Domeprojection will continue to operate with the same team, from its Magdeburg HQ. The company will remain under the leadership of managing director, Christian Steinmann, as an independent brand under the name “domeprojection – a VIOSO simulation company”. Steinmann will also become shareholder of VIOSO.

The acquisition will fuel VIOSO’s expansion plans, particularly in the US, where the company plans to open dedicated offices.

VIOSO managing director Benjamin Fritsch said: “This acquisition is a major milestone in our company’s history, with the competition becoming partners in the best sense. VIOSO’s overall expertise in the AV market and the massive growth in simulation market perfectly aligns with domeprojection’s competence and reputation in the simulation branch. This is a unique alliance with a grand vision and incredible possibilities for our customers.”

Raul Vandenberg, VIOSO’s chief sales officer, added: “Our AV business, which has completed thousands of projects in the AV and media server sector in the past few years, will benefit from new opportunities, including solutions for XR installations and LED screens.”

Christian Steinmann, managing director of domeprojection, commented: “This union represents a win-win situation for our two companies. We are thrilled to be part of the VIOSO family and confident that this partnership will further enhance our innovation capabilities.”

The VIOSO Group, represented by VIOSO and domeprojection, will exhibit at I/ITSEC, the world’s largest modelling, simulation and training event, in Orlando, Florida from 27 November to 1 December).
