Together, FARO, Creaform, and Virtek offer comprehensive, powerful, and trusted portfolios of portable and automated 3D metrology, laser projection, and digital reality solutions. This strategic acquisition combines decades of innovation and expertise to serve a wide range of applications and industries.

Industrial manufacturing: Portable measurement arms, handheld 3D scanners, laser trackers, optical CMMs, photogrammetry cameras, and fully integrated inspection and scan-to-CAD software for quality control and reverse engineering in automotive, aerospace, energy, heavy equipment, and other industrial sectors.

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC)/public safety: Mobile and fixed 3D laser scanners and SaaS collaboration and viewing solutions that enable accurate as-built documentation, construction progress verification, BIM integration, as well as forensics and public safety applications.

Manufacturing and assembly: 3D laser projectors and smart cameras that support complex assembly processes and improve manufacturing efficiency and quality.

While each brand will continue to operate independently, they will increasingly collaborate to deliver unmatched customer experiences, enhanced product integration, and expanded service capabilities for both current and new customers.

“We are excited to join the AMETEK family,” says Peter Lau, president and CEO of FARO Technologies. “This partnership opens new opportunities for innovation and growth, and we’re excited to work alongside Creaform and Virtek to deliver even greater value to our customers.”

“Bringing together these three industry leaders allows us to offer a truly unique and powerful suite of solutions,” says Fanny Truchon, president of Creaform. “We look forward to collaborating more closely to push the boundaries of what’s possible in 3D metrology, laser scanning, and laser projection.”
