About Visar Europe
Visar Europe is a company founded in 2008 by Daniel Pitton and Olivier Kleynen.
Daniel Pitton had been looking for a high-performance sorting system for several years when he came across Olivier Kleynen's research and developments at his Belgian company Visar Sprl. As none of the systems available on the market were able to fully meet the requirements of the carrot producers, they decided to join forces for the industrial production and distribution of the Sortop Carrot optical sorter, which was in the planning stage.
A workshop and technical office were set up in Oppens, Switzerland, and a team of engineers and technicians was put together to develop an initial prototype of the system and then install a first production line in 2010 in collaboration with Stoll Frères SA from Yverdon, a company that produces 6,000 tons of carrots a year.
After final, very promising test runs, several systems were installed throughout Switzerland in 2010 and 2011. The reliability of the system was further improved during these two years, so that it can now be exported to carrot manufacturers worldwide.
