These vision systems are primarily used by customers in the data storage industry in production to improve their production efficiency and manufacturing yields. Commenting on the acquisition of Sight Systems, Gary K. Willis, president and chief executive officer of Zygo, said, "We are pleased to add Sight Systems to our corporate family. The addition of their vision systems and software capabilities will allow us to offer more complete solutions to our data storage customers as well as allowing us to pursue other industry applications by integrating our existing metrology systems with SSI vision capability." David Grant, president of Sight Systems, Inc., commented, "The combination with Zygo will allow us to further our penetration in the data storage industry as a result of key relationships Zygo has in place today. Beyond this, the merger allows Sight to pursue other vision solutions for new markets, further accelerating our growth. We are all very excited to join the Zygo family."
