Why Okapi?
Engineering Without Boundaries
An okapi looks like a mix of different animals, blending traits from a zebra, a giraffe, and a deer into something entirely unique.
At Okapi, we do the same—except with engineering. We are a company that thrives on diversity, not in species, but in expertise.
Our team combines deep knowledge across hardware, software, mechanics, optics, and electronics, making us uniquely equipped to tackle even the most complex technological challenges.
We believe that true innovation comes from seamless integration between disciplines.
That’s why we take responsibility for every phase of a product’s journey—from the initial creative concept to prototyping, production, and final certification. Whether it’s a scientific instrument bound for space, a high-precision optical system for medical imaging, or rugged electronics for defense applications, we ensure that every detail is optimized for real-world performance.
From Idea to Certified Product
Developing advanced technology isn’t just about having a great idea—it’s about making it work in reality. At Okapi, we specialize in turning concepts into fully functional, certified products. Our process includes:
- Creative exploration and feasibility studies – We help transform ideas into concrete plans, using advanced simulation tools and hands-on prototyping to explore what’s possible.
- Precision prototyping and small-scale production – With our in-house pick-and-place assembly and vapor-phase soldering, we can produce complex electronics quickly and reliably, allowing for rapid iteration and testing.
- Rigorous validation and certification – Whether it’s space-grade durability, military standards, or medical compliance, we ensure that our products meet the most stringent requirements before deployment.
Expertise Across the Most Demanding Industries
Okapi’s core focus areas include:
- Aerospace – Designing technology that operates in extreme conditions, from deep space to high-altitude flight.
- Advanced Scientific Research – Developing precision instruments for cutting-edge laboratories and large-scale experiments.
- Defence – Delivering rugged, high-performance solutions for mission-critical operations.
- Medico – Creating optical and electronic systems for advanced medical applications, where precision can save lives.
We thrive where precision, durability, and innovation intersect. Our team has over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing high-performance systems for the most demanding environments.
Why Choose Okapi?
Because like the animal we’re named after, we don’t fit into a single category—and that’s our strength. We combine creativity with technical rigor, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible while ensuring that every product meets real-world constraints. Whether you need a one-off prototype or a complete, certified product, Okapi is ready to take your vision from idea to reality.
