Acquisition International - 2018 Business Excellence Awards 57 BE180069 Most Reliable Gas Detection Products – USA & Best for Gas Leak Detection Sensors - USA SENSIT Technologies, LLC Founded in 1980, today SENSIT Technologies offers a varied product-line which includes gas leak detection sensors, as well as vehicle mounted methane detectors and natural gas pipeline locators. Scott explores the firm’s mission and how it works to achieve this. “Here at SENSIT Technologies, our core purpose is to protect life, property and our environment from hazardous gases. To achieve this, we design, manufacture, sell and service gas leak detection devices that natural gas companies, fire departments and industry use daily to locate natural gas and other toxic gas sources. Our company was founded by my parents, nearly 40 years ago. From humble beginnings, we have transformed the business into an internationally recognized brand. Today, with the help of our partner, Crane Investment Company and our nearly 100 employees, SENSIT continues to add resources toward the continuous growth of the company “Our client focused approach begins right from the moment we start working with them, when we have a team of people that will meet with a new client to help us fully understand their needs. We then work to create the right solution through our product offering and our engineering team that can provide customization as needed. Most of SENSIT’s clients remain clients for many years as both our customer service and new product innovation are second to none.” Within the wider industry, the natural gas market has been through a transformative time with respect to regulation and the need to update infrastructure. Natural gas is a great source of clean, reliable and low-cost energy and updating the systems for its delivery is among the highest priorities alongside safety. These developments have caused many opportunities for SENSIT. One such technology is the use of lasers to “look” for natural gas leaks remotely, creating a torch like effect for natural gas. Scott explores how developments like these help the team at SENSIT to flourish and bring out their focus on innovation. “At SENSIT, we always face a myriad of exciting challenges and opportunities. How we address them is what creates success. I really like to have open and honest communications with everyone. There are many times as our leader I have had to adapt to how to best use my skills. What I have learned is sometimes that means being in front, but equally many times it also means taking a step back and let the team take on the challenge. SENSIT has the greatest people driving decisions and processes every day, and they are helping us to drive success and achieve even more.” As he looks to the future, Scott is keen to emphasise that his firm’s focus remains on offering the most technologically advanced and reliable solutions to meet its clients’ needs. “Looking ahead, SENSIT continues to bring the latest in deployable technologies to the world. We are always looking for appropriate technology partners or acquisition opportunities that bring the best solutions for mitigating gas leakage to the natural gas industry around the globe. As part of this focus, we are opening our European office to enhance service and design new products for the global market. This is an exciting opportunity for us to grow and flourish and we are looking forward to taking advantage of it.” SENSIT Technologies designs, manufactures and services a complete line of gas leak detection instruments, combustible gas indicators and confined space monitors.
