MILAN, Apr 18 (Class Editori) – Russia, China, Indonesia and Singapore. These are some of the countries on the Antares Vision internationalization map. The company specialized in vision control systems and traceability solutions intends to grow in foreign markets through acquisitions.
"We are leaders in Europe. We are the first non-American manufacturer in the United States. The future is in Russia, Asia, China, Indonesia, Singapore, South America and North Africa", explained the managing director Emidio Zorzella entering the AIM.
The company founded in 2007 has entered the stock exchange through the Spac Alp.I (promoted by Mediobanca, Stefano Giambelli, Roberto Marsella, Massimo Perona and Stefano Rangone and listed on the AIM since 2018) which will invest 70 million euros. Antares Vision thus becomes the 21st company entering the stock exchange helped by one of these financial vehicles.

It will be one of the roads", explained Zorzella, founder of Antares together with Massimo Bonardi, "We certainly have ideas, then we will have to translate them into facts", explained the manager who also emphasized the development of new geographical areas.
