BitFlow Expands Business, Partners with Tietech

BitFlow, an international designer of frame grabbers for powering machine vision systems, announced it has signed a new distribution agreement with ITANZI, a core company of Tietech Co. Ltd., headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. With this agreement, BitFlow and Tietech said they are positioned to meet the growing demand in the Japanese market for high-speed machine vision components required for the Industry 4.0 era. Both companies believe they are poised to capture significant market share by bringing industry-leading vision technology to Japan’s industrial base.

Under its distribution partnership with BitFlow, Tietech said it is now the primary distributor of BitFlow grabbers and accessories in Japan, and is also providing system integration and factory automation services using BitFlow products. In addition, Tietech will provide localized technical support and has exclusive rights to certain BitFlow products in Japan.

“We at Tietech are very pleased to be entering into this new chapter together with BitFlow,” said Masahito Murase, company chairman of ITANZI. “Their products will blend perfectly into our ITANZI portfolio, and we are looking forward to expanding into the Japanese machine vision market together.”

“This is an exciting time for BitFlow and a chance to consolidate our position in the Japanese market,” said Donal Waide, director of sales for BitFlow. “BitFlow has been present in the Japanese machine vision market for over 15 years, and this new partnership will enable us to demonstrate our world-class products at the highest level.”
