Tel Aviv: Israeli company SCD specialising in the design and manufacture of cooled and uncooled infrared (IR) detectors and high-power laser diodes, has established a new Europe-based maintenance and support centre in collaboration with ASSEMBLIFY GmbH. The centre, located in Nuremberg, Germany, will enhance SCD’s ability to provide localised, responsive support for its growing customer base across Europe and beyond.
According to the company, this strategic initiative responds to rising demand for advanced infrared technologies driven by accelerated defence modernisation and procurement programs throughout Europe. The new support hub will service both current and legacy SCD products deployed across land, air, and naval platforms, enabling faster diagnostics, repairs, and logistics management.
As per SCD, the collaboration with the German company will reduce turnaround times, improve service quality, and enhance mission readiness for defence and security OEMs. Onsite capabilities will include comprehensive assessments, first-line depot repair, and logistical support for SCD’s extensive infrared product portfolio.
“The increasing demand for defence and infrared solutions across Europe calls not only for innovation but also for rapid, reliable support,” said Kobi Zaushnizer, CEO of SCD. “Our partnership with ASSEMBLIFY enables us to deliver a comprehensive, high-quality support experience to our European customers—minimising downtime, ensuring operational continuity, and reinforcing our commitment to long-term partnership and performance.”
SCD said that the new service centre will act as a critical regional hub, supporting European and international customers with real-time, localised support, enabling them to sustain high availability of mission-critical systems.
“To be always by your side is a core value at SCD,” Zaushnizer added. “This partnership with ASSEMBLIFY ensures that our promise- ‘First to See’- remains not only a technological advantage but also a sustainable, service-backed reality.”
Oliver Grass, owner and CEO of ASSEMBLIFY GmbH, said that the partnership will enable to provide dedicated, customised support for their advanced technologies.
”With over three decades of experience in mechatronic and electro-optical systems, our integrated team is fully equipped to deliver efficient, reliable service to SCD’s customers, helping ensure mission success and operational continuity.”
