AVT (Advanced Vision Technology) has made a significant investment in a new EMEA-focused facility in Belgium which will act as a springboard for the print inspection specialist’s ambitious growth plans throughout the region.
Strategically located in Aalst, close to Brussels, Belgium, the state-of-the-art facility features a new demonstration centre that enables customers to test their own work on AVT solutions. Here, an AVT Helios 100% print inspection system installed on a rewinder highlights the instantaneous identification of defects on printed labels and narrow web packaging. Meanwhile, an AVT Argus system for inspecting flexible packaging also demonstrates the combined capability of 100% inspection of webs at high speeds and visual inspection of targeted areas of interest at high optical resolution.
Dror Danai, President for EMEA & APAC, said, “The opening of this new facility is a landmark moment and demonstrates the value customers place in our brand-new EMEA hub. When we returned to being an independent, standalone business in spring 2025, we said we wanted to build on our more than 30 years at the forefront of inline and 100% inspection solutions, returning to our roots and being fully dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in print inspection technology,” he said. “Just a few short months later, we have opened the doors to our new EMEA facility, ensuring our customers can now see up close the speed, accuracy and performance of our range without having the expense, inconvenience and environmental impact of travelling half-way around the world to do so.”
AVT backs up its engineers with an inventory centre located at Brussels airport, which is stocked with running inventory and allows for regularly required spare parts to quickly be dispatched to a customer’s site, often within 24 hours. This helps AVT engineers to implement fixes and resolve machinery challenges without delay.
