Basler
Merger of Silicon Software with Basler
Silicon Software has been merged into Basler AG. Basler acquired the company in 2018 and managed it as an independent GmbH within the Group structure.
Functions such as production, logistics, sales and technical support were merged shortly after the acquisition, with other functional areas following step by step. The integration of the two companies under company law now completes this process.
Basler CEO Dr. Dietmar Ley, who is also Managing Director of Silicon Software, explains: "The employees of both companies have been working so closely together since the acquisition that the step of legally uniting the two companies under the name Basler AG feels very natural and logical."
With the acquisition of Silicon Software, Basler had expanded its portfolio to include the product areas of frame grabbers and software (VisualApplets). The acquisition was a step towards supporting Basler's growth strategy and in particular towards the performance segment of the computer vision market. With the merger, the frame grabber/interface cards and VisualApplets product areas will be managed under the Basler brand and the portfolio will be further expanded.
