Vision Engineering Inc.
Celebrates 40 Years by
Helping to Feed America
Vision Engineering Inc. is cel- ebrating its 40th anniversary of the opening of its U.S. headquarters. To commemorate this milestone, Vision Engineering Inc. donated $40. to the national charity, Feeding America, for every Mantis stereo microscope sold from February 6th - March 17th.
“We could not think of a better way to celebrate our accomplishments than to give back to the community. We chose this charity (Feeding America) because food banks across the United States are experiencing an increased demand for support due to Covid-19. People are struggling to put food on the table. The funds we raise from Mantis sales will help food banks across the U.S. supply meals to those in need,”
explained Bernie Sherwill, general manager, Vision Engineering Inc.
Established in 1958 in Surrey, United Kingdom, Vision Engineering Ltd. began by suppling technologically advanced quality control equipment to the defense and aerospace sectors as well as the expanding electronics industry. From 1960-1970 Vision Engineering products were exported to the U.S. to support the substantial growth in the electronics and defense markets. Due to the increasing demand for Vision Engineering products in the U.S., in 1973 founder Rob Freeman set up a joint venture with Kulicke & Suffa U.S.A. (known as Vision Systems Inc.) for OEM integration and distribution with an office in Ivyland, PA.
In 1981 Vision Engineering Inc. was founded and in 1982 the company moved to New Milford, CT, where it currently is based.
In 2019 Vision Engineering ex- panded its U.S. presence by opening a West Coast Technology Center in Irvine, CA. This site serves as a sup- port, training and demonstration venue.
