Purchasing a thermal imager, no matter the application is a costly affair. More so when implementing larger fixed systems or providing crucial portable handheld thermal technology for an entire team. 

Chris Vangelder, the founder of Cape Thermal, realized that a thermal imager was much more than a simple 'off-the-shelf' purchase and that users could benefit from a far higher degree of communication and support than is traditionally provided by companies who feature thermal imaging as an afterthought. 

There is a growing requirement for low cost and lightweight thermal sensor technology across multiple market sectors in South Africa. This demand is only set to increase in the coming years. Furthermore, there is a clear need to leverage existing thermal imaging expertise available in South Africa to further educate end-users on the uses and nuances of the product.

Thermal imaging is an emerging technology set to alter the way we perceive our surroundings. Cape Thermal has been established as a "thermal only" company to further widespread adoption and knowledge of thermal imaging in South Africa.
