This investment will support further expansion of the US branch of CameraMatics and drive forward its recent entry into the mainland European market, in addition to further product development. CameraMatics expects to create more than 50 jobs over the next two to three years in Ireland along with other roles in the UK, US and mainland Europe.

CameraMatics has grown steadily since launch. In the past 12 months, it has seen 300% growth of recurring revenue despite the challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic and expects this new investment to further accelerate the business’s growth.

Mervyn O’Callaghan, chief executive of CameraMatics, said: “We are delighted with the support we have received from Puma Private Equity, Sure Valley Ventures and Enterprise Ireland. The funds will enable us to further capitalise on our position as a leader in the fleet safety technology industry in Ireland, the UK, USA – and beyond.

“IoT is the future and with the automotive IoT market growing significantly year on year we are now extremely well-placed to continue to expand our business and develop our software solutions.”
