Kfar Saba, Israel – AVT (Advanced Vision Technology), a global leader in print inspection solutions for the label and flexible packaging industries, today (3 March, 2025) announced its transformation into an independent company.

With more than 30 years of experience in inline and 100% inspection solutions, AVT continues to build on its heritage. At the same time, it is returning to its roots as a standalone brand. The company remains fully dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in print inspection technology.

Print Inspection Innovation Through Independence

The launch of the new AVT follows its acquisition by Porat Itay Holdings. As a result, this marks an exciting new chapter for the company.

Co-Owner and CEO Roy Porat said the move will deliver “the same great AVT, now focusing on what we do best—print inspection, process control and quality assurance.”

A New Chapter in Print Inspection Innovation

AVT has led print inspection advancements since its founding in 1992. Over the years, it has helped printers worldwide achieve high levels of quality and efficiency through automated systems.

In 2017, Danaher acquired AVT and later integrated it into Esko. Now, however, AVT is reclaiming its independence. This shift allows the company to focus on its core expertise and future growth.

“This is an incredibly exciting milestone for everyone at AVT,” said Roy Porat, who served as the company President in 2020–2022.

“Re-establishing our independence marks an exciting new chapter for us. We are fully committed to reinforcing our leadership in advanced print inspection and color measurement technologies. In doing so, we ensure that our customers benefit from the highest level of precision, efficiency, and innovation to help drive their own businesses.

We have an incredibly strong and dedicated team that focuses on serving our global customers. Today, this milestone reflects all their hard work over the past thirty-three years.”

Strengthening Inspection Capabilities

With a renewed vision, AVT is underlining its leading position as a trusted partner for print professionals worldwide. The company remains dedicated to providing 100% defect detection, proven ROI-driven solutions, and cutting-edge AI-powered inspection technologies that help printers optimize production, reduce waste, and ensure flawless results to boost their own productivity – and their bottom line.

“As part of the acquisition agreement, AVT retains its special partnership with both Esko and X-Rite, allowing AVT to continue to collaborate closely with other industry leaders and offer its unique capabilities of seamless workflow and unmatched color measurement,”

added Roy Porat. “As an independent company, we are laser-focused on delivering state-of-the-art print inspection solutions that empower our global customers to achieve operational excellence.”

“We are incredibly excited for what the future holds,” said Porat. “As this new chapter begins, we look forward to unveiling our latest innovations to help customers in pursuit of a new era of print

inspection excellence.”

AVT will make its 2025 debut as a standalone company at ICE Europe, Messe München (Munich Trade Fair Centre) in Germany, from 11-13 March 2025. The company will be co-exhibiting alongside Esko – visit the AVT team at stand #786.
