  Company History
 

Firstsight Vision was founded on the 17th January 2001 as a merger of Pinnacle Vision and Vortex Vision, both of which started trading in 1997 as specialist distributors of industrial vision components and services. In July 2004 the company became a member of the Stemmer Imaging Group, the leading European supplier of machine vision technology, with companies in Germany, France, and Switzerland, as well as the U.K.
