Marchesini Group has aquired 100% of SEA Vision Group. Founded in Pavia, Italy, SEA Vision offers traceability, data collection and inspection systems in the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics packaging sector. The acquisition began in 2018 with the initial purchase of a 48% stake in SEA Vision Group.
 
Pietro Cassani, CEO of Marchesini Group, will become chairman of the board of SEA Vision, which will also include Michele Cei, co-founder of the Pavia-based company, who will retain the role of CEO. The new corporate structure will not interfere with SEA Vision’s forecasting a turnover of over 50 million Euro for 2022.
 
“SEA Vision Group’s entry into the Marchesini Group will enable us to create packaging lines which are even more integrated with vision and inspection systems, to guarantee our customers ever-improving performances and a high degree of personalization,” said Cassani.
 
Cei added, “After years of strategic partnership, today we are completing our entry into the Marchesini Group: this operation will ensure SEA Vision Group the best conditions for growth on the international markets, and further boost our already strong development ambitions. We will also retain our commercial independence – in other words, our identity.”
 
 Maurizio Marchesini, chairman of Marchesini Group, said “Through in-house management of the complex dynamics involved in the digitalization of production processes, we intend to interconnect mechanical engineering with robotics and software, and manufacturing with digitalization and AI. The aim is to transform the production lines which package, amongst other things, products like Covid vaccines and cancer drugs, into objects which can be entirely interconnected, in order to offer our customers real-time technical service in line with the highest standards required by the industries in which we work.”
