Company Background

SENSIT Technologies has been a leading supplier of gas leak detectors to the North American natural gas industry since the 1980s. From humble beginnings in a barn on the family farm, we’ve grown into a $50M business with a powerful purpose: to protect life, property, and the environment from hazardous gases.

SENSIT has been built on providing trust to those who rely on our products to protect their life, property and our environment from hazardous gases. That trust was built on the powerful combination of a robust product offering and our culture of always putting the customer first.

Before entering a building where there is the potential for a lethal gas leak, our customers will pick up their SENSIT device and put their faith and life in the hands of our efforts. Our instruments may be the only way they will know that an area is potentially explosive or poisonous.

SENSIT’s strong sense of purpose led to the business being acquired by Halma in February 2020. Halma is a global group of technology companies whose purpose closely aligns to SENSIT’s own.
