The actual wide range of specialized camera systems is the result of technical challenge and product specific know-how.

Our own developments in conjunction with an excellent contact to leading manufacturers of image sensors ensure our access to state-of-the-art CCD- and CMOS-technology for our cameras.
Since 2001, PCO is located in its own facility building in Kelheim at the shore of the beautiful and international river Danube. Here in the county Bavaria, which is well known for its excellent support and conditions for high technology companies, we share the benefits of the simple access to high performance products and services in the surrounding area. Kelheim itself is a very old town, founded at the confluence of the Danube and the Altmühl, that has been converted into the Rhine-Main-Danube bypass channel for water transport. It is the heart of a beautiful river and forest covered lime plateau landscape.
