Cubert GmbH, a developer of compact snapshot hyperspectral cameras and analysis software for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based sensing applications, has formed a strategic partnership with Emtek Holdings, which has secured a majority stake in the company.
With EMTEK’s investment, Cubert will serve as the foundation of the newly formed EMTEK Hyperspectral Group. The collaboration aims to accelerate research, broaden market reach, and enhance the application of hyperspectral imaging across various industries.
Together, EMTEK and Cubert will scale Cubert’s technology leadership on a global level, shorten development cycles and speed up commercialization. The companies also aim to expand the impact of spectral imaging across multiple fields, including industrial automation, medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and defense applications.
This new partnership is founded on strategic alignment, entrepreneurial clarity, and mutual trust, providing a strong basis for shared success.
Dr. René Heine, CEO of Cubert, remains a significant minority shareholder and will continue to lead the company together with the existing management team, who are also reinvesting in its growth.
Heine commented, “EMTEK is different to traditional investors. They are experienced, professional and have great ideas but, uniquely, they invest their own money. They bring to us the vision and drive of a professional private equity firm as well as the long-term stability of a family office. For Cubert, EMTEK has allowed us to enter an exciting new phase of growth – backed by engaged, value-add, dependable partners.”
Benoît Colas, Chairman of EMTEK, added, “EMTEK is pleased to announce its acquisition of a majority stake in Cubert GmbH. We are very proud to be investing alongside Cubert’s founder & CEO, Dr. René Heine, and its talented management and employees. Over the years, Cubert has developed its world-class hyperspectral vision technology and now commands a leading, global market position. Going forward, EMTEK is committed to supporting Cubert in further enhancing its technological edge and developing custom end-user applications in select verticals.”
