About InnaLabs
InnaLabs is a European high-technology firm specializing in the design and production of high-performance inertial sensors for demanding applications. The company’s Irish operation was established in Dublin in 2012 by John O'Leary, who now serves as CEO, in partnership with Russian-born entrepreneur Dmitry Simonenko, who founded the original InnaLabs in 2001. O'Leary, with a lifelong background in the electronics industry and product development, teamed up with Simonenko to leverage Ireland's tech environment, growing the operation from a startup to a key supplier for major European clients.
The company's business model centers on manufacturing and supplying ITAR-free (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) inertial sensors, which are not subject to restrictive US export controls, providing a key advantage for its global clientele. InnaLabs serves a diverse range of high-stakes markets, including aerospace, space, land, marine, subsea, civil engineering, and transportation. Its revenue is generated through direct sales of its sensor products and providing full product lifecycle solutions, including design, manufacturing, and after-sales support. The firm has secured significant funding, including a €5 million debt facility from Harbert European Growth Capital and contracts with the European Space Agency (ESA).
InnaLabs' product portfolio is anchored by two main lines: Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG) and Quartz Servo Accelerometers. The CVGs are solid-state sensors known for their robustness, reliability, and an exceptionally high Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) of over 500,000 hours, making them ideal for platform stabilization in optical, pan-and-tilt, and other sensitive systems. The AI-Q-Series of quartz servo accelerometers provide high accuracy and stability for navigation, control, and measurement applications, even in harsh environments. These products are critical for precision guidance, stabilization, navigation, and orientation, and have been used in significant space missions, such as the ESA's Hera and Ramses planetary defense initiatives.
