Pyreos develops and manufactures thin-film pyroelectric (passive infrared) sensors. Its sensors are primarily used for gas and flame sensing, food safety, and monitoring oil and fuel in engines. The company’s technology was originally developed by Siemens and Pyreos was spun out of Siemens in 2007. Pyreos is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It intends to use the £1.7m funding for further commercial expansion. The latest investment brings total funding since 2015 to almost £7m. Pyreos develops ultra-low power consumption infrared sensor technology for consumer, industrial and environmental sensor products. It has developed high-performance MEMS-based sensors that enable a diverse range of products, including gesture sensors, oil sensors for wind-turbine monitoring, laser measurement sensors, gas sensors and energy-efficiency products. The company holds over 100 patents and patent applications protecting its thin film pyroelectric infrared sensor technology. Pyreos is a technology spin-out from Siemens and is led by CEO Jeff Wright. The company raised $4m in funding to support international expansion. It is based in Edinburgh, United Kingdom and was founded in 2007. Pyreos develops patented thin-film technology with applications across the infrared sensor industry. It produces infrared sensor array–based products and works with manufacturing partners across the UK, Germany and Europe. The company intends to use recent equity funding to strengthen its global network of channel partners and to continue expanding its customer base. Pyreos was founded in July 2007 and is based in Edinburgh, UK. Recent corporate developments include adding Tony Lear, a 40-year veteran of the electronics and semiconductor industries, as Non Executive Chairman.
