Munich, May 15, 2019 – Dr. Wolfgang Eckstein, co-founder, co-owner, and one of the managing directors of Munich-based MVTec Software GmbH (www.mvtec.com), is going to change his role within the company.

In this role, I will support MVTec especially in strategic discussions.”
Dr. Olaf Munkelt, also managing director at MVTec Software GmbH, co-founder, and shareholder, adds: ”I am happy about Wolfgang’s focused role and I am looking forward to continue our proven and trusted collaboration. MVTec sees many new application areas for machine vision and will keep on establishing innovative software products to offer customers the best possible added value in all these areas. In this respect, MVTec will benefit from Wolfgang’s significant machine vision expertise in the future as well.”
