Sofradir: The Infrared Company

Sofradir’s success as a global player is built on a unique combination of assets: the strength and versatility of our core semiconductor technology, our team, vision, and customers, who have shown confidence in our Infrared (IR) detectors for their quality and large-scale availability.

We are an international reference in the industry.  We have introduced an ever-growing number of “firsts” to the IR camera and optronics systems sector, simultaneously setting new industry standards in performance and in the quantity of products shipped since we began operations in 1986.

Our innovative concepts in miniaturization have enabled us to produce lighter weight and lower power consumption products for handheld devices and light airborne equipment. These have put us in a market position where we lead and others follow. 

Thousands of our military- and space-grade IR detectors used to detect, observe, and identify objects at great distances, day and night, through fog, smoke and dust, contribute to making Sofradir the No.1 European supplier of IR detectors, and ranked among the top 3 in the world.

Looking to the future, we have only scratched the surface of the potential of our flagship semiconductor technology and expertise.  We are truly excited by the possibilities. With operations in Europe and now North America, we are more ready than ever to seize opportunities arising through rapidly evolving market needs in defense, security, science and space.
