News from the North - Itella and Finn-ID

Great news from up North!

4410/4470 End Of Life

We’ve put the official End Of Life notice online for the 4410 and 4470 scanner products. These scanners have been an integral part of our product offering for a long time, but with the changes in the marketplace there is less room for niche products like these. Especially now that newer products based on our Adaptus Imaging 5.0 technology can be applied in such a wide range of applications and environments.

If you’re a partner, you can read the full retirement notice on the partner’s area.

Sales organization expands

We’ve been talking about product updates, happy customers and new tools but what it really comes down to is of course sales. To boost our sales in EMEA, four new colleagues have joined our sales team in the past few months. Three of them (Juan Pablo, Steve and Andreas) will be focusing on scanner sales, and Magnus is the guy for Scandinavia! 

We have been growing rapidly in the past years and it was also necessary to reshuffle our EMEA organization, to make sure we had the right people in the right places for future growth. You can read the details in our news section.  

3800LR/LX Retired

All good things come to an end. So too is it with some of our best-selling products, the 3800 LR and LX models. We have to end their time in the spotlight and make room for the new kid on the block, the 3800g.

We think the 3800g is a better product in every way, and we hope you agree. Take a look at the 3D tour and download the data sheet, you’ll see what we mean.

If you’re a partner you can read the full product retirement notice in the Partner’s Area, as well as the transition reference guide to help your customers move from the 3800LX/LR to the 3800g.
