PLV was founded in 1989. Initially the company operated as a custom imaging engineering company working with all types of Tier1 automotive suppliers to improve quality in the manufacturing processes. During this time PLV also developed on-line and off-line measurement applications for automotive extruders.

Today we have evolved to become a quality measurement instrument manufacturer for all companies involved in using or manufacturing extruded profiles. Our most recognized product is the FS200 designed as an advanced yet affordable tool for measuring extruded profiles. The product has gained acceptance from window and door manufacturers and extruders as a reliable method to measure the cross sectional dimensions. New functionality has been added to this system in 2010 to compare colors. This is indicative of the PLV’s approach to new development by responding to new trends in its core market. PLV also provides advanced machine vision software to OEM’s for automated in- line production inspection and measurement.
