History

Viscom was founded in 1984 by Dr. Martin Heuser and Volker Pape. At its start, Viscom developed software for industrial image processing. After moving to its current location in Hanover-Badenstedt in 1992, series production of inspection systems for PCB assembly began. In addition to automatic optical inspection, 1995 saw the introduction of microfocus X-ray inspection and the first system worldwide to combine inspection under incident light and X-ray, establishing another main pillar of business for Viscom. 1998 saw the establishment of branches in the USA and Singapore. A further business sector was secured in 2001 in the shape of microsystem inspection. In the same year, Viscom changed its business form to a German stock corporation (AG) ahead of its initial listing on the stock market in May 2006. Since August 2007, Viscom has also offered systems for semiconductor inspection.
