In 2017, the Intelligent Industry Manufacturing Fund led by HFM group (a Chinese stock listed company, Stock Code: 603011) acquired 100% of the shares of Lauffer, a German company with a history of over 150 years, and was approved by the relevant departments of the German government.

Based on the respective advantages of Germany and China in SBS (sensor-based sorting) and AI (artificial intelligence), Lauffer Vision was formally established in August 2018 after nearly half a year of preparation.

Lauffer AI Powered Sensor-based Sorting Innovation Center (Lauffer Vision Technology Co., Ltd.) is located in Hefei, the capital of science and technology in China. The brand-new innovation and assembly facility of Lauffer Vision was officially put into use in May 2023. At present, Lauffer Vision has gathered the most competitive R&D, manufacture, sales and service elite teams in Europe and China, and is committed to satisfying various sorting requirements and user experience globally.
