Initial discussions with Rostislav Kratochvíl, Owner and Executive Director of Neta SMT, were conducted with Lars Bartels and Grischa Wasmus, both in Sales Europe at Viscom, in March. The headquarters of the company is located in Brno, Czech Republic. Comprehensive negotiations followed in May at the Viscom Technology Forum in Hanover, Germany. Finally, the SMT trade fair offered the ideal context for signing the contract.
Lars Bartels commented: „The depth of expert knowledge and the potential market network Neta SMT brings were convincing, especially when joined with the business owner‘s extensive international experience in the branch. Also, their wider product range fits our quality requirements very well.“ After corresponding training, the new partner will also take over application training and technical support.
„Based on many years of experience in the branch, the company was founded in early 2016 with the intent to approach our customers as a reliable specialist. Therefore, we have deliberately limited ourselves to a manageable selection of high-value products,“ stresses Rostislav Kratochvíl. Since major electronics manufacturing customers in his region increasingly insist on the most up-to-date quality assurance and the concepts of machine networking and Industry 4.0 make stronger inroads here, Kratochvíl sees rising demand for 3D inspection systems as clearly inevitable.
