Hasselblad, the premium medium format camera manufacturer, is planning a rapid expansion of cutting edge capture products and is set to target new imaging markets following the company’s acquisition by Ventizz Capital Fund IV, LP, a private equity investor exclusively advised by Swiss- and Germany based Ventizz Capital Partners AG.
Ventizz, which specializes in funding growth in companies across various high-tech industry sectors including communications technology and renewable energy, says it plans ‘no major structural or key management changes’ at Hasselblad.
Announcing the move Dr. Larry Hansen, Hasselblad Chairman & CEO said: “After eight years of ownership by the Hong Kong-based Shriro group, Hasselblad is now moving back to its European roots. History shows that for over half a century we have been the leading manufacturer and partner for photographers working in the medium format environment and seeking highest quality and ongoing innovation. In 2002 we pioneered the revolutionary Hasselblad H-Camera System – the most comprehensive digital camera system of its kind available today, with its unique advancements such as True Focus and instant lens correction in our Phocus software.”
He added: “Ventizz has a very impressive funding pedigree in the technology marketplace and our joint focus now will be on both maintaining our market-leading position with ongoing, advanced high-end camera products and also on exploiting the potential we see in brand new markets.”
Hasselblad has recently launched the H4D-200MS, a top end multi-shot camera delivering unprecedented 200 megapixels.

Any Hasselblad customer who purchases a new Hasselblad H4D camera or CFV digital back between June 15, 2011 and July 31, 2011 will be awarded a Bonus Check worth 10% of the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (excl. VAT) of the product they have purchased. This unique Bonus Check can then be redeemed to purchase any photography equipment of their choice at the Hasselblad dealer, where they purchased the camera.
“We believe this campaign is a perfect solution, presenting any of our camera customers a valuable bonus this summer. We are very proud of our cameras and hope this will make it even easier for customers to decide to make Hasselblad part of their image capture solution,” says Chris Russell-Fish, Hasselblad’s Global Sales and Marketing Director. “Hasselblad has always sought to support and promote photography in general, and photographers across all genres. What better way to do this than to give our camera customers a Bonus Check which they can use to purchase lenses, filters, camera bags, lighting or whatever other photo related accessory they so desire?”
Once the customer purchases one of the following cameras, an H4D-40, H4D-50, H4D-60, H4D-200MS, H4D-50MS, CFV-39, or CFV-50, they will be directed towards a special registration page where, with a few simple clicks, they will be able to register their new product and see the total amount of the Bonus Check they are entitled to spend with the dealer, and with another simple click, can save and print a unique and numbered Bonus Check. The customer simply then redeems the Bonus Check with their Hasselblad dealer, spending the total value on any photographic item of their choice – the offer is not restricted to Hasselblad equipment, but can be used to purchase any products sold by the dealer, where they purchased their Hasselblad camera or digital back.
“We sincerely hope that customers will take advantage of this unique offer,” says Russell-Fish, “and use this wonderful opportunity to get their hands on Hasselblad equipment and accessories, or any other products they may need or desire.”
