打造一家世界领先的调光技术和ADAS解决方案供应商
[Tel-Aviv, Israel, Feb 3 2022] – Gauzy, Israeli based company, a world leader in light control nanotechnologies and electrical systems applicable to smart glass, has acquired France based Vision Systems, a flagbearer and leader in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) and shading solutions for the aeronautic, land transport, and marine industries. The acquisition of Vision Systems by Gauzy makes the company a world leading provider of light control technologies, shading comfort management systems and ADAS solutions, from development through integration, across various industries.
[以色列特拉维夫，2022 年 2 月 3 日] 以色列公司Gauzy——一家专注于用于智能玻璃的纳米调光技术和电气系统的世界领先公司，收购了法国公司Vision Systems——为航空、陆路运输和船舶提供ADAS（高级驾驶辅助系统）和遮阳解决方案的引领者。此次收购助力Gauzy成为一家从开发到集成并跨越各个行业的调光技术、遮阳舒适管理系统和ADAS解决方案的世界领先供应商。
This strategic endeavor is the culmination of a successful Round D of $60M, including notable follow-on and new investors. Amongst follow-on investors are the leader of this round IBEX, along with Olive Tree VC, Blue Red Partners, Waarde Capital, and Avery Dennison (NYSE: AVY). New investors include Walleye Capital, 3A Capital, Klirmark, and Davidson Capital.
这也是本次D轮融资取得的最重大成果，这项6000万美元的融资包括了重要的跟进投资者和新投资者。跟进投资者以IBEX为首，其余依次为Olive Tree VC，Blue Red Partners，Waarde Capital和Avery Dennison（艾利丹尼森、NYSE: AVY）。新投资者有Walleye Capital、3A Capital、Klirmark和Davidson Capital。
With this acquisition, Gauzy will offer diversified products, wider global availability, increased production capacity, and high end-market penetration. New to Gauzy’s product offering are ADAS technologies from the newly acquired industry leading SafetyTech entity, including camera based image analysis and monitoring systems, and innovative smart mirrors that are continuing to evolve from its legacy product to include light control elements, all applicable and personalized for private, public and industrial vehicles.
通过此次收购，Gauzy将提供多样化的产品、全球化的产品可得性、更高的产能和终端市场渗透率。得益于新收购的业内先进SafetyTech实体，包括基于摄像头的图像分析和监控系统以及依靠搭载调光元件在传统产品上不断进化的创新智能后视镜（所有这些都适用于私人、公共和工业车辆，并提供相应的个性化服务），Gauzy的产品得以拓展出了ADAS技术这一新选项。
Gauzy is dedicated to continuing to develop the ADAS arena, integrating it’s trusted PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) and SPD (suspended particle devices) technologies into ADAS products and ecosystems. Light control technology can be used in ADAS to reduce visual obstructions such as glare on the road, create safety gates with instant on-demand privacy or transparency for public transport operators if there is a perceived threat, and for high contrast switchable transparent displays to communicate safety messages to the surrounding environment.
Gauzy会继续ADAS领域的开发，将其成熟可靠的PDLC（高分子分散液晶）和SPD（悬浮粒子装置）技术集成到ADAS产品和生态系统中。调光技术可用于ADAS以减少行驶中的眩光等视觉障碍，并按需及时地打造隐私环境或在感知到危险时所能保障安全的透明性，以及方便地向周围环境发送安全消息的高对比度可切换透明显示屏。
Gauzy will continue to offer its flagship light control enabling technologies, including nanoparticle interlayers and hardware, via its existing and continuously growing distribution channel of over 70 certified partners and extensive portfolio of professional customers.

凭借着 2021 财年近5000万美元的收入，Gauzy将继续发展并携手各行各业的领先品牌开发独特的产品，其中包括备受瞩目的LG Display指定使用Gauzy的技术集成到它的透明 OLED显示屏中，正如Gauzy最近在IAA 2021和CES 2022上展示的那样。
Combining the strengths of these companies, Gauzy is excited for a new era of growth, innovation, and opportunities.
结合这些公司的优势，Gauzy对一个高速增长、充满创新和机遇的新时代跃跃欲试。
Eyal Peso, Gauzy’s CEO says, “As leaders in material science, Gauzy is committed to innovation that matters. A core motivation for this strategic acquisition is diversification, most notably marked with Gauzy’s expansion into ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and APAS (advanced passenger assistance systems) products. Further advancing ADAS and APAS solutions to incorporate LCG® technologies from a system based approach addresses a growing demand for safety focused solutions in the transportation industry. We will be not only working towards systems that support drivers, but also passengers, occupants, and general users of our products across industries.”
Gauzy的CEO Eyal Peso先生提到：“作为材料科学的引领者，Gauzy着眼于必要的创新。此次战略收购的核心起因即多元化，标志着Gauzy在ADAS（高级驾驶辅助系统）和APAS（高级乘客辅助系统）上的产品拓展。随着进一步推进ADAS和APAS解决方案从系统层面地整合LCG®技术，Gauzy能应对交通运输行业以安全第一的各种方案需求的增长。我们将不局限于为驾驶员提供支持系统，还有我们跨行业产品涉及的乘客、居住者和普通用户。”
Carl Putman, Vision Systems CEO adds, “This alliance gives rise to an international group, specialized in solutions that enhance safety and comfort in transportation and architecture. This strategy was made possible thanks to the innovative efforts made by both companies those last few years, and to the visionary management and strategic marketing approach. In addition, outstanding know-how in the field of nanomaterials combined with high-level expertise in integrating electronics and composite into complete systems, will enable the development of a range of customized products being the best-in-class on the market.”
Vision Systems的CEO Carl Putman先生补充道：“这一联盟将催生出一个能在交通运输和建筑上保障安全性和舒适性的国际企业。如果没有两家公司在过去几年中的创新心血以及富有远见的管理和行销，今天的这一战略难以实现。此外，两者的结合——杰出的纳米材料专有技术与高水准的电子和复合材料的完整系统性集成——将推进一系列定制产品的开发，使其成为同类产品中的佼佼者。”
Gauzy has an established customer base in built environments and various mobility divisions, strategically aligned with leading brands such as Avery Dennison and Hyundai, and chosen by customers such as LG Display, BMW, Texas Instruments, Gensler, Clestra Hausermann, and many more for light control technology needs.
