Teledyne FLIR owns the entire thermal imaging value chain—from detector fabrication to finished systems. Founded in 1978 in Wilsonville, Oregon, and acquired by Teledyne Technologies in 2021 for approximately $8 billion, FLIR is the world‘s largest commercial thermal imaging company. The product portfolio spans six categories: handheld thermal cameras (Exx, T, and Cx series) for predictive maintenance and building diagnostics; fixed-mount automation cameras (A-Series uncooled and A6450 cooled MWIR) for 24/7 process monitoring and quality assurance; OEM thermal camera modules (Boson, Lepton, Hadron) for integration into drones, security systems, and consumer electronics; security and surveillance thermal systems (PT and FH series) for perimeter protection and critical infrastructure; acoustic imaging cameras (Si series) for compressed air leak detection and partial discharge monitoring; and test and measurement instruments including digital multimeters and clamp meters.

FLIR manufactures its own infrared detectors, a vertical integration capability shared by fewer than five companies globally. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications. OEM modules include ITAR-free radiometric options such as the dime-sized Lepton XDS and the high-performance Boson+ series, enabling temperature measurement on every pixel. For system integrators, machine builders, and procurement professionals sourcing thermal sensing solutions, FLIR provides the industry’s broadest portfolio—from a $109 OEM core to a multi-million dollar defense electro-optical system—all backed by manufacturing in the United States and global technical support.
