The company offers battery protectors, circuit breakers, thermal controllers, motor controls, airflow, automotive, and pressure sensors and switches. Sensata serves a broad range of worldwise markets including aircraft, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, and transportation.
Sensata Technologies was founded in 1916 under the name General Plate Company. Initially, the company operated in Attleboro, Massachusetts and later merged with Spencer Thermostat Company in 1931. Following the merger, the company was called Metals & Controls Corporation, and quickly established business capabilities of metal processing and temperature-sensing controls. The company was later acquired by Texas Instruments in 1959, becoming a subdivision within the company. During the 1970’s, the company expanded abroad, building manufacturing facilities in Malaysia and Japan. In 2006, Metals & Controls Corporation broke off from Texas Instruments to become a private conglomerate, rebranding themselves as Sensata Technologies. In the coming years, Sensata Technologies would go on to acquire more businesses and expand their product offerings and capabilities. In 2010, Sensata Technologies became a publicly traded company, listing themselves on the New York Stock Exchange.
