The company has established strategic collaborations with Glomex in Poland, Eqqus in Estonia, and Precision Technic Defence Group in Denmark, significantly expanding its presence in Northern Europe’s defence and security markets.

These partnerships will facilitate the distribution of Sentinel Photonics’ military-grade LASERD® detection systems and FROST protection filters, addressing urgent and growing concerns about laser threats in modern battlespace environments across Northern Europe.
 
"Having access to the defence and security markets is key to our growth strategy," says Jackson White, Head of Commercial at Sentinel Photonics. "Northern Europe represents a sophisticated market with advanced defence requirements, and the partnerships with Glomex, Eqqus and Precision Technic Defence Group provide crucial channels to serve this strategic sector."
 
The collaborations enable all partners to support and resell Sentinel Photonics’ complete range of defence and security-certified products. This announcement builds upon Sentinel Photonics’ existing European presence, complementing recent partnerships with StarC4SIS in Romania and TMB Netherlands.
