Mobotix has acquired a Spain-based LCR/OCR provider Vaxtor, the first deal for Mobotix since the majority of Mobotix's shares were acquired by Konica Minolta, 6 years ago.
We spoke with Mobotix's CEO Thomas Lausten to better understand this deal, how Mobotix has changed since the Konica deal, and the future of Mobotix.
