With a financial injection of EUR 3 million and a clear international ambition, Capture is bracing itself for a new phase of growth.
The Belgian technology company aims to become a leading digitisation partner for industrial companies in Europe. The investment accelerates both the roll-out of Capture - a platform that makes industrial data insightful via an app eco-system - and the strengthening of Vintecc's existing service offering, to new markets including the Netherlands and Germany.
The sole investor in this round is Stan Pattyn, industrial entrepreneur. Pattyn had been a client of Vintecc with Pattyn Packaging Lines for more than five years.
The investment follows a strong growth trajectory. Vintecc was recently included in the Deloitte Fast 50, has been selected for the Unizo SME of the year 2025 and rises year after year in the Trends Gazelles ranking.
"As a customer, I have experienced how their technology simplifies processes, makes data actionable and adds real value," says Stan Pattyn. "This is not future music. This is what industrial companies need today."
User experience becomes investment
For Vintecc, it is a powerful signal.
"The fact that someone who has used our product for years is now also stepping in as an investor confirms to us that we are making a difference in the workplace," says Vincent Theunynck (Co-Founder).
From smart sensors to smart decisions
Vintecc has been operating for ten years as a technology partner for industrial companies striving for continuous optimisation. The company combines AI, machine vision, industrial data infrastructure and automated control in one technology powerhouse.
Its goal: to provide companies with systems that not only measure, but also decide and improve.
Central to this is Capture, a modular software platform that structures and deploys industrial data for applications such as quality inspections, production and process optimisations, waste reduction and maintenance optimisation reducing unplanned downtime. Capture was built independently from day one, as a European alternative - versus hyperscalers or expensive US platforms - and with a strong focus on data ownership and flexibility.
It is clear that much of industrial production processes are not yet digital. So the demand for scalable solutions like Capture is greater than ever.
"We want to become the App Store of the industry," says Karel Viaene (Co-Founder). "An open platform that supports the entire data chain, from sensor to control."
End-to-end peace of mind as a differentiator
What sets Vintecc apart from classic software vendors is their hands-on experience and broad technology scope. Their +75-strong team not only helps customers set up smart sensors or train AI models, but also provides the underlying infrastructure and integration with existing OT and IT systems.
A typical application is vision-based quality inspection where smart cameras, self-learning models and real-time interfacing with the production flow are delivered as one. Customers such as Bekaert, Poppies Bakeries, Movu Robotics, Premium Sound Solutions, Vyncke and Agristo already rely on Vintecc to improve their processes, reduce energy consumption and increase uptime.
International growth and specialisation
With the new investment, Vintecc and Capture can:
further refine and internationalise Capture, particularly in the Netherlands and Germany
accelerate the development of the competence clusters around AI, machine vision, industrial data and energy optimisation
accelerate the go-to-market with expansion of service and platform offerings
"The industry yearns for usable, secure and scalable solutions," said Vincent. "We now have the capital, the product and the team to make a difference there. Our five-year plan is leading in this: by 2030, we want to grow through international commercialisation and strategic acquisitions in every cluster."
Talent also opts for digitisation
Besides technology and product vision, Vintecc also invests in people. From offices in Roeselare, Ghent and Leuven, driven technical talents build scalable solutions. New employees are given plenty of opportunities to grow within the organisation.
"We promise every applicant that he or she will not only learn technology, but also understand the workings of a (growth) company," says Karel. "That makes us attractive for those who want to make an impact in a rapidly evolving industry."
Digital acceleration has begun
With this capital round, Vintecc is taking another step in its mission to become the industry's number one digitisation partner.
"We don't just deliver technology. We make impact. And now we want to do that on a larger scale."
