History
SensorTran began developing its core technology in 1996 for NASA’s X-33 space shuttle program to monitor internal cryogenic fuel tanks. These space-based roots afford SensorTran the unique distinction of being the only DTS manufacturer in the world to have flight/ space-qualified hardware. Starting as a division of Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC), located in Austin, TX, USA, SensorTran has been designing, manufacturing, and installing advanced fiber optic-based monitoring solutions since 1998.
In August 2006, SensorTran brought in $5.5M in outside funding. These funds were used to grow the team, expand the product offerings, and complete a separation from SPEC. SensorTran now operates as an independent, privately-held, corporation. SensorTran’s investors include Expansion Capital Partners (San Francisco, CA, USA), WHEB Ventures (London, UK), and Stonehenge Capital Company (Dallas, TX, USA). In late 2007, SensorTran brought in another $8.0M in additional funding, adding Advantage Capital Partners to the company’s list of investors. This additional investment has been used for a variety of growth-related activities.
