Who We Are

 

Sensing is what we do.

In fact, our name Sensata comes from the Latin word sensate or ‘those gifted with sense’. Our focus on sensing is also reflected in our logo, which spells Sensata in Braille.

Future Focus

 

 

We are ready for the next century.

Our vision is to be a world leader and early innovator in mission-critical sensor-rich solutions and insights while satisfying the world’s growing need for safety, efficiency and a clean environment and being a partner, employer and neighbor of choice.

Our sensors are the fundamental building blocks needed for a cleaner, more efficient, electrified and connected world.

There are four major trends that will shape our markets over the next decade.

Clean & Efficient
Sensata sensors are being used to make more efficient industrial pumps, improve fuel efficiency in cars and heavy off-road vehicles and more.
Electrification
As electric vehicles rise in popularity and demand, they require sensors to monitor and optimize everything from battery systems to thermal management systems.
Insights/IoT
Sensata is developing smart, connected sensors that enable actionable insights for equipment and vehicles.
