HGH designs, develops, assembles and sells electro-optics systems for industrial, civil, defence and security applications. The company has established itself as an international reference in terms of innovation in infrared technology, through the development of multiple advanced sensors.
By leveraging our unique expertise in infrared technologies and optronic systems, the company has focused on high-technology and high-value added application niches at a global scale, including wide area surveillance for protection of critical infrastructures, test & measurement supporting a wide range of calibration and test equipment from UV to SWIR and industrial thermography for thermal process control monitoring.
The company is a worldwide leader in the measurement and analysis of infrared images. Our cameras make use of infrared images to secure critical infrastructures and control thermal process. In Test & Measurement, blackbodies emit IR radiation shaped by our collimators to project an IR image. This image is analyzed by INFRATEST software, in order to assess the equipment (cameras, detectors) of our customers.
“With the trust of key leaders in our three market segments, HGH has gained a worldwide reputation as primary provider of high performance optronics solutions. We still strive to search for electro-optical innovation and technical excellence, and offer the best leading-edge products and services to our customers ”
Vincent Leboucher, President of HGH Group
We develop innovative electro-optics solutions for surveillance, testing and thermal process monitoring.

The company takes Wide Area Surveillance to the next level. Our global optronics surveillance solution encompasses a large range of SPYNEL® 360° IR sensors driven by Cyclope software for automatic intrusion detection, tracking and classification. On land or at sea, the SPYNEL® thermal cameras acquire high-resolution 360-degree images, with automatic and real time detection of simultaneous and unlimited number of targets.
The turnkey HGH optronics surveillance solution continuously monitor ultra wide panoramic fields of view to ensure that no event is missed, even in total darkness, or through smoke or inclement weather conditions. It is the ultimate solution for 24/7 situation awareness, providing unprecedented real-time security for critical infrastructures.
HGH offers comprehensive optical testing solutions for optronics equipment. HGH leading-edge infrared and visible test equipment ranges from blackbodies, integrated spheres and collimators to integrated test benches which are all driven by the turnkey INFRATEST software. Our equipment serve universities, research labs, detector manufacturers and test centres around the world.
Beyond the quest for technical excellence, we strive to provide comprehensive testing services and unparalleled technical support to our customers.
HGH manufactures thermal scanners and cameras for remote temperature measurements on rotary kilns, boilers and other high temperature processes. HGH temperature control solutions extend key equipment lifetime and enable preventive maintenance actions before irreversible damage occurs.
HGH pyrometric cameras allow the control of the flame shape for the optimization of material burning efficiency. HGH kiln scanners contribute to improving productivity and reducing unplanned shutdowns. As an infrared specialist for nearly four decades, HGH’s rotary kiln scanners and cameras are operated in hundreds of industrial sites worldwide.
To face the Covid-19 pandemic, HGH has developed an innovative temperature screening solution to detect, without contact, the elevated skin temperatures of individuals throughout the thermal camera’s surveillance area. mIRcury® panoramic thermal camera is designed to screen large halls, thus facilitating the flow of people while helping to reduce disease transmission risk.
With Management and R&D based in France and in the United States, the HGH group is present throughout the world to be as close as possible to its customers and to adapt to the technical and quality requirements of each. Sales and technical support teams are based in North America, Europe and Asia, and the group counts representatives in more than 50 countries.
Each year, HGH is involved in about 20 tradeshows around the world. Check out our events calendar, or contact us to arrange a meeting!
HGH has received numerous awards for its ability to continuously innovate and offer the latest electro-optics technologies.

“The use of HGH scanner brings great added value for the management of the clinker manufacturing process as well as the prevention of any incident of the kiln shell. It is an essential tool for the good operation of the kiln. The PYROSCAN camera enabled us to reinforce the kiln monitoring tools and to better control the flame quality. Pyroscan’s data provides a high contribution for the ‘Kiln Master’ system for automated kiln control.”
"Our policy of continuous improvement has led us to look for the ideal tool to better control the position of the flame on our large grates. The HGH PYROSCAN cameras and software facilitate and optimize flame detection. They allow us to evaluate the temperature distribution in the furnace (...) Our constraints have been taken into account: the camera adapts to the furnace and to a restrictive environment, and not the other way around! We also appreciate the assistance and support of the HGH teams."
The HGH company group has achieved certification to the new ISO 9001-2015 Quality Management System (QMS) standard, reflecting the organization’s commitment to quality, transparency and customer satisfaction. The QMS is implemented across the HGH headquarters based in Igny and US subsidiary based in Goleta, CA.
