Vancouver, BC – February 2025 — CURRENT Scientific Corporation (CURRENT), a leading Canadian manufacturer of electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) camera systems, is proud to announce its expansion of operations to a regional office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This expansion underscores CURRENT’s deep-rooted commitment to the UAE market, strengthening local partnerships, and delivering world-class EO/IR solutions directly to customers in the region.
Since 2015, CURRENT has played a pivotal role in the UAE’s defense, maritime, and security sectors, providing advanced imaging solutions tailored for the region’s unique operational needs. The establishment of a dedicated UAE office marks a significant milestone in CURRENT’s mission to enhance in-country value, streamline service support, and further integrate with key industry stakeholders.
A Strategic Expansion in a Rapidly Evolving Market
The UAE is rapidly emerging as a global leader in maritime technology and innovation, making it an ideal location for CURRENT to expand its footprint. With a strong emphasis on AI-driven advancements in EO/IR systems, CURRENT’s technology is at the forefront of transforming maritime operations — enabling faster threat detection, enhanced situational awareness, and intelligent automation to reduce operator fatigue and error.
"CURRENT has always been at the forefront of groundbreaking technology, pushing the boundaries of innovation to deliver world-class solutions," said Greg Menzies, President & CEO of CURRENT. "The UAE's commitment to integrating the latest advancements aligns perfectly with our vision, making this expansion a natural step forward. We are excited to contribute to the region’s dynamic growth and collaborate with forward-thinking partners who share our passion for progress."
Building Local Manufacturing, Service Capabilities, and AI Innovation
The new UAE office will house sales, service, and manufacturing operations, reinforcing CURRENT’s commitment to the country’s In-Country Value (ICV) and Tawteen Enablers Program (TEP) initiatives. By establishing a regional manufacturing and service hub, CURRENT ensures that customers benefit from faster response times, reduced lead times, and uninterrupted support for mission-critical operations.
By embedding itself in the local landscape, CURRENT aims to foster innovation, accelerate technology adoption, and provide mission-critical capabilities that drive operational success across the UAE’s maritime, defense, and security industries.
"CURRENT's expansion into the UAE is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our customers and the technology we deliver," noted Erik Seidelmann, Senior Sales Engineer at CURRENT. "By establishing a local presence, we are not just bringing innovative solutions to the region — we are standing by them. Our customers can expect hands-on support, and the assurance that we are fully invested in their success. This move underscores our belief that true innovation isn’t just about pushing boundaries — it’s about being there, on the ground, ensuring our solutions perform when and where they matter most."
Enhancing Local Collaboration and Customer Support
The UAE office will also serve as a training and support center, with dedicated technicians available to train customers and integrators, attend commissioning and acceptance tests, and provide on-call technical support. This move strengthens CURRENT’s ability to work closely with industry leaders, government agencies, and private sector partners to develop tailored EO/IR solutions that meet the UAE’s highest operational standards.
