Deep-tech SWIR Imaging Leader Emberion Secures Significant Growth Capital in Funding Round Led by Virala Group to Accelerate Production and Global Expansion
Emberion Oy, a world leader in advanced infrared and enabling also hyperspectral imaging solutions, has completed a significant financing round co-led by Nidoco AB, part of the Virala Group, and Verso Capital. The new capital will power Emberion’s next phase of growth as it scales production to meet rising global demand across industrial, environmental, and in particular defense markets.
Emberion’s proprietary sensor technology is protected by a strong intellectual property portfolio, including over 100 granted patents. The company’s solutions are used in both commercial and governmental applications, positioning Emberion as a standout deep-tech company in the global imaging space.
Scaling to Meet Surging Demand
With customer demand increasing rapidly across strategic sectors, Emberion will invest significantly in its production process and equipment to boost manufacturing capacity and shorten delivery times as current demand significantly outstrips supply. These investments will allow the company to fulfil growing order volumes and support a broader customer base across international markets. In addition, the company will complete investments to implement wafer level packaging – a manufacturing method patented by Emberion that enables revolutionary low-cost packaging for its sensors.
“This financing marks a pivotal moment for Emberion and our growing global customer base,” said Sami Kyllönen, CEO of Emberion. “Our market traction and customer pipeline are stronger than ever. With this capital, we will scale up our production, enhance delivery capabilities, and continue advancing our core technologies to support our customers worldwide.”
Backing a European Deep-tech Leader
“We are thrilled to support Emberion in its mission to bring world-class imaging technologies to global markets,” said Jan-Elof Cavander, COO of Virala Group. “Their patented technology, proven product-market fit, and applicability for various use cases make Emberion a uniquely positioned deep-tech company. We look forward to working closely with the team to help drive the next stage of growth.”
“Emberion’s unique in-house designed sensor and low-cost packaging process enable creation of product variants for a wide range of applications very efficiently,” said Anssi Kariola, Managing Partner, Verso Capital. “We are excited to work with the Emberion team and Virala Group to scale this fully European technology to high volume production, addressing increasing demand.”
