Sensata Technologies, Inc.
Overview
Sensata Technologies took more than nine decades to become, it hopes, an overnight sensation. Founded in 1916 as General Plate Company, providing gold plate to jewelers, the company is a leading supplier of electrical and electronic sensors and controls. The business became part of Texas Instruments in 1959 and operated as TI's Sensors & Controls unit before going independent in a $3 billion buyout by Bain Capital in 2006. Sensata manufactures products used in aircraft, appliances, automotive engines, climate control systems, industrial equipment, and lighting to control and regulate their operation, based on changes in air flow, pressure, temperature, and other variable conditions.
