(PRESS RELEASE) WETTENBERG, 29-Apr-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — PVA TePla AG, a leading provider of high-tech solutions in materials and measurement technology, has acquired DIVE imaging systems GmbH, a cutting-edge company specializing in light microscopy systems for surface and layer thickness analysis. The acquisition, effective retroactively from January 1, 2025, expands PVA TePla’s portfolio to include high-precision inspection technologies designed for the semiconductor industry and other sectors.

DIVE imaging systems, founded in March 2023 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS), is based in Radeberg near Dresden. The company has developed innovative solutions for industrial quality control and process optimization, offering fast, non-destructive, and highly accurate inspection capabilities. By integrating DIVE’s advanced optical material analysis technology, PVA TePla strengthens its position as a leader in the metrology sector, positioning itself for continued growth in this emerging market.

Jalin Ketter, CEO of PVA TePla, commented: “The integration of DIVE imaging systems is a key step in our growth strategy, reinforcing our strong focus on metrology. DIVE’s innovative technology for optical material analysis perfectly complements our existing measurement systems.”

DIVE’s cutting-edge technology combines hyperspectral vision with artificial intelligence to enable precise, non-destructive material analysis. The company’s solutions are particularly well-suited for the production of microchips, fuel cells, and other critical components where surface properties, layer thicknesses, and the detection of defects and impurities are vital. Dr. Philipp Wollmann, Managing Director of DIVE, stated: “Our hyperspectral vision technology marks a significant leap in quality assurance across various industries. By integrating AI with hyperspectral sensor technology, we can enhance efficiency and quality in numerous production sectors.”

DIVE’s technology is already being applied in the semiconductor, energy, and automotive industries, with potential for expansion into additional fields that require the inspection of surfaces and layer thicknesses.
