For over 35 years, Active Sensors has designed and manufactured a wide range of linear and rotary position sensors for precision motion control and measurement systems. With the increasing cost of engineering development programs, technical managers need to identify reliable and cost-effective program partners. Active Sensors is an ISO9001 certified company providing a wide range of mission critical position sensors for aerospace, automotive and industrial applications.
With a combined eighty years experience of precision sensor design and manufacture, brothers Chris and Peter Smith, former engineers in the Penny & Giles aerospace organisation, founded Active Sensors on the philosophy of providing system designers with the most accurate, reliable and cost effective position measurement solutions. The company rapidly developed an international reputation as a supplier of precision sensors and for providing first class customer service.
Our company design and manufacture advanced position-sensing solutions for motion control and measurement systems. Our vision is to create value through investment in people, quality and innovation. Achieving our vision requires that we conduct our business with the highest principles of integrity and ethical behaviour. Our commitment extends beyond mere compliance with the law; it defines whom we are and how we want to be known. We’ve earned our reputation by delivering on promises with integrity, accountability and by maintaining positive customer relationships based on mutual respect.
Active Sensors corporate governance standards and practices meet or exceed the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations. More importantly, our governance principles reflect our commitment to excellence in all aspects of our operations.
