AVT returns to status as independent company

AVT (Advanced Vision Technology), a provider of print inspection technology for the label and flexible packaging industries, is transforming into an independent company. With more than 30 years at the forefront of in-line and inspection technology, AVT is now building on its history and returning to its roots as a standalone brand.

The launch of the new AVT follows the company’s acquisition by Porat Itay Holdings. Co-owner and new CEO Roy Porat says this new chapter will deliver 'the same great AVT, now focusing on what we do best — print inspection, process control and quality assurance.'

AVT was founded in 1992, helping printers worldwide through automated systems that deliver quality control at the highest production speeds. After being acquired by Danaher in 2017 and subsequently integrated into Esko, AVT is now reclaiming its independent identity, allowing it to focus exclusively on its core expertise.

'This is an incredibly exciting milestone for everyone at AVT,' said Porat, who served as the company president from 2020-2022. 'Re-establishing our independence marks an exciting new chapter for us. We are fully committed to reinforcing our leadership in advanced print inspection and color measurement technologies, ensuring that our customers benefit from the highest level of precision, efficiency and innovation to help drive their own businesses. We have an incredibly strong and dedicated team that focuses on serving our global customers, and today is a testament to all their hard work over the past 33 years.

'As part of the acquisition agreement, AVT retains its special partnership with both Esko and X-Rite, allowing AVT to continue to collaborate closely with other industry leaders and offer its unique capabilities of seamless workflow and unmatched color measurement,' added Porat. 'As an independent company, we are laser-focused on delivering state-of-the-art print inspection solutions that empower our global customers to achieve operational excellence.

'We are incredibly excited for what the future holds,' said Porat. 'As this new chapter begins, we look forward to unveiling our latest innovations to help customers in pursuit of a new era of print inspection excellence.'
