Corvallis, OR–In a move that creates the largest wood products scanning company in the world, Microtec has acquired Lucidyne Technologies, Inc., based here.
Microtec has been delivering technologically advanced scanning and optimization systems for 40 years, and is among the premier scanning companies across Europe. Lucidyne has been an industry leader in scanning and optimization throughout North America since 1985. This acquisition expands both companies’ product lines, geographical reach and, perhaps most importantly, brings the two most advanced technologies and technology teams together.
Lucidyne’s products will be enhanced by the availability of the Microtec product line. Together, there will be a mill-wide integrated scanning opportunity. Microtec and Lucidyne will be introducing co-developed products that bring the best of their technologies together, including Lucidyne’s patented Perceptive Sight® Intelligent Grading Platform.
Microtec’s headquarters will remain in Bressanone, Italy, while Lucidyne’s operations will stay in Corvallis. No changes are anticipated to their staffs, support, plant operations or customer interaction. Customer operations will remain a top priority, a company statement said, adding they are eager to work together to deliver unparalleled results worldwide.
