Acquired by US-based thermal imaging solutions supplier 6778 FLIR Systems in December, 2012, Belgian video traffic systems company 5574 Traficon has become fully integrated into the organisation and is now known as Flir Intelligent Transportation Systems.
The company recently inaugurated a new office in Marke, Belgium, at a ceremony attended by Vincent Van Quickenborne, mayor of Kortrijk, who referred to the many international successes of Traficon and praised the intellectual capital of the company: “Well trained, educated and entrepreneurial people have always been the basis of this company. They are also part of our region’s DNA.”
Vice president and general manager of FLIR Intelligent Transportation Systems, Lode Caenepeel, stressed the smooth collaboration between the former Traficon and the new parent company: “Co-workers from both sides of the Atlantic have had the opportunity to learn from each other over the past few months, and the integration of the former Traficon into FLIR Systems is now at full speed. What’s more, FLIR Intelligent Transportation Systems has been able to establish a very good first quarter, which has been greatly appreciated at the FLIR headquarters.”
