Hello [firstname,
fallback=customer]
Welcome to the May, 2011 edition of Vision
Technology News presented by Adept Electronic
Solutions Pty Ltd - The Machine Vision and Imaging Specialists.
We come to the end of another financial year and so I would
like to thank all of you, our customers and our suppliers
for working with us this year. It has been another busy 12
months and any remnants that Aust/NZ felt of the GFC seem
to have faded. For those of you that export, it has been a
challenging year with the Aud$/NZD$ reaching and remaining
at multi-decade highs. Manufacturers have also been challenged
by exchange rates and by the continued competiton from neighbouring
regions! All-in-all; however, we have seen growth in the market
and look forward to having it continue.
Adept has continued to grow organically. This year we welcomed
Mattew Ayres to our Melbourne team. We also had our bigggest
year since starting 23 years ago which we are proud of and
again thankful to you for. Behind the scenes we have been
planning and implementing the merger with Total Turnkey Solutions
which has been announced to the press in the last 2 weeks.
For those of you that don't know TTS, they have been an alternative
supplier of machine vision and imaging in Australia for 18
years. They also supply data acquisition and industrial computing
products. They are a very competetent and skilled company
and I look forward to the complementray skills they bring
to Adept. This merger combines the two largest specialist
suppliers of industrial machine vision and imaging in Australia.
You will see, over the coming 12 months positive changes and
improvements to the way we do business. You will benefit from
more technical support, more competitive pricing, better and
faster service and more knowledge transfer to you in the form
of seminars, webinars and technical papers. The new company
will be called Adept Turnkey and on behalf of my new partners
Mark Goulding and Kevin Dowsey, we look forward to working
with you in the coming years.
Marc Fimeri CEO Adept Turnkey
