About Faro Technologies INC

FARO Technologies, Inc. is a U.S.-based industrial technology company focused on 3D measurement, imaging, reality capture, and laser projection solutions. The company has historically been listed on the U.S. NYSE/NASDAQ market and is domiciled in the United States. FARO was founded in 1982 and later re-incorporated in Florida. Its worldwide headquarters are in Lake Mary, Florida. Over the past four decades, FARO has built a strong reputation in precision metrology and digital reality tools used by manufacturers and professional users who need faster inspection, higher accuracy, and better decision-making from physical-world data. FARO’s business model combines hardware, software, and related services. Its core business lines include portable and automated 3D metrology systems, 3D scanning and inspection tools, reality capture solutions for documentation and site measurement, and laser projection systems that help guide manufacturing and assembly workflows. The portfolio includes portable measuring arms, laser trackers, handheld and terrestrial scanners, optical measurement systems, and inspection software. These solutions are used across a broad set of end markets, including automotive, aerospace, energy, heavy equipment, industrial manufacturing, construction, public safety, and geospatial applications. From a competitive standpoint, FARO has long occupied a niche but well-regarded position in high-precision measurement. Its differentiation comes from its combination of portable devices, software-enabled workflows, and application expertise, which are particularly valuable in quality control, reverse engineering, scan-to-CAD processes, and field documentation. In this market, customers typically value reliability, measurement accuracy, ease of deployment, and the ability to integrate captured data into production and analytics workflows. FARO’s international footprint gives it access to a diversified customer base and broadens its reach across multiple industrial verticals. A major recent development was the completion of FARO’s acquisition by AMETEK on July 21, 2025. Following that transaction, FARO continued to operate under its brand while becoming part of AMETEK’s Ultra Precision Technologies division. In 2025 and 2026, FARO also highlighted product and portfolio initiatives, including the addition of HandySCAN Black|Elite to its 3D measurement offering and upgrades to FARO Zone 3D. These actions suggest a strategic emphasis on product breadth, software capability, and deeper integration across industrial metrology and reality-capture use cases.
