Cubert GmbH, a developer of compact snapshot hyperspectral cameras and analysis software, has entered a strategic partnership with Emtek Holdings, which acquired a majority stake in the company.
Cubert’s founder and CEO, Dr. René Heine, will remain a significant minority shareholder and continue to lead the company alongside the existing management team, who are also investing in the future of the firm. With EMTEK’s investment, Cubert will serve as the foundation of the new EMTEK Hyperspectral Group. The collaboration is focused on accelerating research, strengthening the impact of hyperspectral imaging across industries, and expanding market access.
EMTEK and Cubert intend to scale Cubert’s technology leadership globally, shorten development cycles to speed up commercialization, and expand the impact of spectral imaging across several areas. These application areas include medical diagnostics, industrial automation, environmental monitoring, and defense.
Benoît Colas, Chairman of EMTEK, said, “EMTEK is pleased to announce its acquisition of a majority stake in Cubert GmbH. We are very proud to be investing alongside Cubert’s founder & CEO, Dr. René Heine, and its talented management and employees. Over the years, Cubert has developed its world-class hyperspectral vision technology and now commands a leading, global market position. Going forward, EMTEK is committed to supporting Cubert in further enhancing its technological edge and developing custom end-user applications in select verticals.”
Dr. René Heine, CEO of Cubert, added, “EMTEK is different to traditional investors. They are experienced, professional and have great ideas but, uniquely, they invest their own money. They bring to us the vision and drive of a professional private equity firm as well as the long-term stability of a family office. For Cubert, EMTEK has allowed us to enter an exciting new phase of growth – backed by engaged, value-add, dependable partners.”
