Ouster Inc. has expanded its presence in the Asia-Pacific region to Japan and South Korea to further the adoption of its digital lidar. The company also appointed Michael Mozzhechkov as the Head of Sales in Japan, and Stephen Kim as the Head of Sales in South Korea, to provide on-the-ground sales and support for its growing customer base.

“Ouster’s expanded presence into Japan and South Korea positions us well to capture the growing demand for digital lidar across key end markets,” said Clement Kong, the Vice President of the Asia-Pacific at Ouster. “We have already seen significant traction in the industrial and robotics verticals with growing interest across our other target industries. With the appointment of commercial leadership in-country, we intend to generate new leads and increase direct customer sales, while delivering faster support to our customers and ecosystem partners.”

Ouster is committed to serving customers in Japan and South Korea to support the increasing demand for high-resolution digital lidar sensors. Ouster is already working with Japanese and South Korean distributors Okaya, PSYGIG, OPT Technologies, and UCS, as well as perception software and integration partners Kudan, Seoul Robotics and Avikus, to support solution offerings for various applications across its industry verticals.

Mozzhechkov brings over 20 years of experience in research, engineering, and commercial operations at sensing technology companies, including Lumentum and Valeo.
