We are pleased to announce Scientific Visual strategic partnership with PVA TePla, a globally operating high-tech holding with expertise in semiconductors, crystal furnaces, and material inspection.
This collaboration will further advance our capabilities in crystal inspection and optimisation of crystal growth. As part of this partnership, PVA has acquired a 25% equity stake in Scientific Visual in H2 2024.

This partnership will benefit our customers with:

– Industrial manufacturing capabilities in Germany
– Global sales and maintenance network covering 30+ countries, where PVA will be Scientific Visual’s sales channel for existing and future equipment
– Joint development of non-optical crystal inspection methods
– Access to crystal furnace design and optimisation facilities, where PVA is holding a leading market position.

This partnership aligns with Scientific Visual vision to make automated crystal inspection a daily reality, and support ecologically responsible crystal production by increasing production yield.

In late 2024, we unveiled a joint development of automated bulk SiC scanner for the semiconductor industry, particularly in electric vehicles.

In parallel PVA is rolling out Scientific Visual’s crystal analysis software to its customer base.

Note that this partnership doesn’t impact our general terms, sales, or delivery conditions. All existing contracts stay in place and intact.
