AKRON, OH, August 11, 2004 – Applied Vision Company, the world’s technology and innovations leader in application-specific machine vision for the containers, packaging and printing industries has officially broken ground on its new state of the art facility in Akron at Ascot Industrial Parkway.

Amir Novini, President of Applied Vision, and his immediate staff were also present. The new two-story building will be built on 6.2 acres of land overlooking a nature preserve.
