We welcome DermLite to the FotoFinder family!
We are pleased to announce that FotoFinder has entered into a binding agreement to acquire DermLite LLC, a renowned provider of handheld dermatoscopes. This strategic merger marks a significant milestone in dermatology and brings together two companies committed to advancing dermatological care through groundbreaking innovations.
By combining DermLite's expertise in hand dermatoscopes with FotoFinder's experience in state-of-the-art imaging systems, customers gain access to a wide range of products and services for modern dermatological diagnostics and research: From handheld devices to full-body mapping systems, local or cloud-based, and supported by artificial intelligence (AI), the new group offers a complete range of tools for skin visualisation.
‘We are delighted to welcome DermLite to the FotoFinder family,’ said Andreas Mayer, CEO of FotoFinder Systems. ‘This merger is an important step in our mission to improve the early detection and diagnosis of skin cancer worldwide. Our shared vision is to offer our customers everything they need for skin visualisation under one roof.’ John Bottjer, President of DermLite: ‘The merger with FotoFinder is in line with our goals and values. We look forward to the new opportunities for innovation, growth and learning.’
FotoFinder and DermLite share a vision of shaping the future of skin imaging together and reaffirm their commitment to innovation and excellence. This ambitious merger of two strong brands will expand the existing product range and accelerate the development of new technologies and resources in dermatology and aesthetics.
The transaction will be completed by the FotoFinder shareholder team and EMZ Partners, with a significant reinvestment in the new group by DermLite co-founders John Bottjer and Thorsten Trotzenberg.
