The headquarters in Obersulm, Germany, is both a development and production site. With branches in the USA, Japan, South Korea and UK as well as other offices, IDS is represented internationally.

We want to offer the best user experience in the vision market. This underpins our aim of not only delivering top performance for our customers but of providing them with distinctive added value. This applies to our approach to our products and how we interact within the company. We put a huge amount of commitment and passion into developing and producing our cameras, with constant awareness of our corporate vision. Our corporate values provide guidelines for all our employees around the world:

Quality and environment

We develop and produce environmentally-friendly products. Our holistic approach to quality does not just include product quality, but even more importantly, includes environmental protection and the economic use of resources.

We also make sure that our suppliers meet our stringent demands in terms of environmental protection and resource conservation.
