![]() I would like to take the opportunity to thank Capital-E, ING and PMV for their strong support in growing CMOSIS.” Luc De Mey, Chairman and CEO of CMOSIS, commented: “This transaction will allow CMOSIS to continue growing as an independent company with the support of TA Associates, a strong financial partner that has an impressive track record in building technology companies and is committed to supporting our future growth. ![]() CMOSIS broadened its capital base and raised further growth capital in 2009 from ING Corporate Investments (Belgium) ING Activator Fund, the Arkimedes Investment Fund of ING Belgium investing in promising Flemish SMEs and Participatiemaatschapij Vlaanderen (PMV). With financial backing and support from Capital-E Arkiv, CMOSIS was founded in November 2007. CMOSIS employs over 60 people and is based in Antwerp, Belgium. This accelerating market shift should continue to prove favorable for CMOSIS.”ĬMOSIS is a major player in the industrial, scientific and professional markets for image sensors, covering applications such as machine vision, high-end digital photography, digital cinema, aerospace & scientific, medical and biometrics. The migration to CMOS is being driven by a lower cost of manufacturing, lower power requirements, higher speeds and improved sensor resolution. “CCD has traditionally been the dominant technology in the high-end image sensor market that CMOSIS serves. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is conditional on regulatory clearance and is expected to be completed by early 2014. What's perhaps telling is that Leica (or ACM) didn't acquire them - perhaps if they were German - but we've (in other words, you saw it here first) heard some rumblings lately that Leica is working on a 36-40MP camera, perhaps with their old friends TrueSense.ĬMOSIS is pleased to announce that TA Associates, a global growth private equity firm, has agreed to acquire CMOSIS, a leading pure-play supplier of high performance standard and custom CMOS image sensors. TA Associates (a global growth private equity firm) has agreed to acquire CMOSIS. As you may be aware, a company based in Antwerp, Belgium by the name of CMOSIS makes the sensor in the Leica M (Type 240) camera, which early on promised to be a game changer.
