Who We Are


Our History
Witness was founded out of a need to supply defect-free products both efficiently and cost-effectively.
In 1998, we took a specially designed vision camera and applied it to the sorting process, allowing us to deliver the most accurate parts to all customers. Our state-of-the-art inspection systems led to greater accuracy and repeatability, expanding our services beyond human operators.
Eventually, our customers required inspection equipment in their facilities. So we built vision-based equipment to meet strict quality standards and function in many industrial environments. We successfully married the need for complex vision technology with the need for flexibility and ease of use. And since then, we’ve added washing and finishing capabilities to offer enhanced solutions that outperform our competitors.
Over 20 years later, Witness remains a strategic partner in the industrial supply process. At our headquarters in Zeeland, we work with countless companies each week to inspect, clean, and finish over 5 million-plus parts—on time, without exception.
