Presence in the Benelux Countries
Effective immediately, Basler strengthens its presence in the Netherlands, Belgium

Ahrensburg, June 05, 2015 – Starting April 2015, Cor Valk assumed the role of Business

"I'm glad to have Cor joining us, since we've gained a highly skilled sales expert from the
automation industry. Thanks to his deep experience in technical fields, we're going to extend
the growth in the Benelux region, and further cement the significance of what is a highly
important market for Basler."
Valk will work together with Basler's exclusive distributor DVC Machinevision B.V. (DVC)

sales. Dick Goudriaan, General Director of DVC, expressed excitement at the new hire:

Manager in Benelux. We look forward to working together, to support Basler’s customers in
the Benelux region even better and to further develop Basler products into new markets."
Working from his office near Amsterdam, Valk will support customers in the Netherlands,

markets for the machine vision industry.
