Since automation solutions require increasing expertise in various technical disciplines that can hardly be covered by a single company, VMT and Cadkon are now joining forces to jointly cover customer requirements. To do this, they are dovetailing subsystems and processes, which at the same time reduces effort and thus costs in automation projects.

The two companies have known each other for over ten years, during which time numerous customer solutions have been created. The partnership that has now been agreed will optimize task areas in accordance with the partners' expertise and define interfaces in such a way that smooth processes result.

"Through the partnership, we bring together the strengths of both companies in machine vision, robotics, mechanical engineering and automation. This results in optimally integrated overall solutions for our customers," explains Dr. Stefan Gehlen, Managing Director of VMT in Mannheim.

Volkmar Adler, Managing Director of Cadkon in Walldorf, adds: "Thanks to the many years of expertise in pharmaceutical and medical technology, the specific requirements of this industry, including the required qualification services, can be fulfilled to a particular extent".
