PVA TePla expands portfolio of high-precision metrology systems through acquisition

• Innovative provider of light microscopy systems for the analysis of surfaces and layer thicknesses complements the PVA TePla portfolio with high-precision inspection technologies for the semiconductor industry and other sectors
• DIVE imaging systems will become part of the PVA TePla Group retroactively to January 1, 2025
• CEO Jalin Ketter: "With its innovative technology for optical material analysis, DIVE is the ideal complement to our existing measurement systems."

Wettenberg, April 29, 2025. PVA TePla AG has acquired DIVE imaging systems GmbH retroactively as of January 1, 2025. The company offers innovative solutions developed specifically for industrial quality control and process optimization. With the integration of DIVE, PVA TePla is expanding its portfolio with additional technologies for high-precision, fast, and non-destructive inspection. The leading provider of high-tech solutions in the fields of materials and measurement technology is thus further strengthening its leading technological position in the metrology sector and paving the way for further growth in this future-oriented market.

"The integration of DIVE imaging systems GmbH is another step on our growth path, with a strong focus on our metrology business," says Jalin Ketter, CEO of PVA TePla. "With its innovative technology for optical material analysis, DIVE is the ideal complement to our existing measurement systems."

DIVE, an acronym for "Digital Vision Experts," was founded in March 2023 as a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS) and is based in Radeberg near Dresden. Its in-house developments in light-based and artificial intelligence-assisted measurement techniques enable precise and non-destructive material analysis of key components for the production of microchips or fuel cells, for example. This allows, among other things, surface properties to be examined, layer thicknesses to be determined, and defects and contaminants to be detected.

"Our hyperspectral vision technology represents a significant advance in the quality assurance of various materials and components. By combining hyperspectral sensing with artificial intelligence, we enable efficiency and quality improvements in many different production areas," says Dr. Philipp Wollmann, Managing Director of DIVE. "With its extensive expertise in metrology and process automation, PVA TePla is the ideal home for us to further develop our technologies and transfer them into industrial applications."

DIVE's technology is already used in several industries, including the semiconductor, energy, and automotive sectors. It is also suitable for numerous other applications requiring surface and layer thickness inspection.
