Pyreos - Infrared Sensor Arrays

Pyreos was founded in July 2007 by Jeff Wright, Scott Freeborn, and Carsten Giebeler to take advantage of the growing opportunity for advanced infrared sensor array technology in improved motion and occupancy detectors, lower cost infrared cameras and spectroscopy/analytical equipment.

The Company quickly acquired granted patents and related IP around a unique thin film pyroelectric infrared sensor technology developed by Siemens over many years in their corporate research facilities in Munich. Pyreos has combined this technology with additional semiconductor process developments and packaging techniques to enable a new range of infrared sensor array components.

The Company has recently received a seven figure series A investment from a European syndicate of venture capital investors including Siemens STA and Braveheart Ventures, who share the Company’s vision of the market opportunity.

Headquartered at the Scottish Microelectronics Centre in Edinburgh, the Company has class 10 cleanrooms for product development and pilot production as well as test facilities to ensure the highest quality standards is achieved in our products. The Company has a number of manufacturing partners across the UK, Germany, and throughout Europe that contribute to the production of our infrared sensor array based products. In addition, Pyreos benefits from an ongoing relationship and support from Siemens with whom we have a technical cooperation.

Pyreos aim is to become the leading global supplier of infrared sensor arrays and components for commercial applications and the Company is building a global commercial operation to support our international customer base.
