Ukrainian thermal imaging camera manufacturer Oko Camera has announced the establishment of a subsidiary in the Netherlands. This was reported by Defender media, citing representatives of Oko Camera.
The company said it has been operating on the Dutch market since April 2026. During this time, the team has worked on sales, developing partnerships with businesses and government bodies, customer support, as well as research in microelectronics and photonics.
As the company explained, setting up the subsidiary is intended to expand Oko Camera’s opportunities to work with European partners, attract investment and recruit specialists. At the first stage, the Dutch entity will focus on developing relationships with local customers, potential clients and partners, including companies and research institutions in photonics and optics, Oko Camera said.
One of the key areas will be launching production of thermal imaging cameras in the Netherlands. The products are planned to be supplied to Ukrainian troops. By the end of 2027, the company expects to reach production capacity of 100,000 units per year. The amount of investment in launching the Dutch business has not been disclosed.
The Dutch unit will be headed by Veronika Skorobohatko. She has more than a decade of experience working in the country in international management, partnership development and the delivery of strategic projects, the company said. At present, the team includes, on a project basis, an optics researcher, an in-house legal counsel and a business development and sales specialist. Going forward, the company plans to hire a Compliance & GR specialist, a Field Application engineer, another researcher and a business development specialist. Overall, Oko Camera’s team in Ukraine and other European countries numbers around 100 specialists.
The manufacturer currently has two mass-produced thermal imaging camera lines — Oko Core and Oko Pro. In the first quarter of 2027, the company plans to bring Oko S to market, designed for reconnaissance drones.
In addition, in the first half of 2027 Oko Camera plans to present the Oko HD line with a resolution of 1280×1024 pixels. According to the company, these cameras will have four times as many pixels as the Core and Pro models, which will make it possible to increase target detection range.
