Coherix is finding its niche in Asia, helping more manufacturers on that side of the world streamline their production capability.
The Ann Arbor-based business is a supplier of high-speed, high-definition 3D measurement and inspection solutions. It creates software designed to improve the management of manufacturing processes. Its high-tech optical-based measurement and inspection products help find efficiencies in the automotive and semiconductor industries.
The 9-year-old company is finding a lot of demand for its technology with manufacturers of semi-conductors and other electronics. It has also recently inked a deal to do a joint venture in China, which the company expects to become the its biggest geographic market in the near future.
This growth has allowed the company to hire five more people in Ann Arbor. It now employs 50 people worldwide and expects to keep growing.
"Next year will be huge," says Dwight Carlson, chairman & CEO of
Coherix. "We have a big customer we just finished a three-year production contract with."
Carlson explains that the client, whom he declined to name, has part of Coherix's technology imbedded in its product. That will produce a handsome royalty for Coherix when its begins making sales next year.
