The name Sensata comes from the Latin word sensata, meaning "those gifted with sense". To complement our business and name, our logo is inspired by Braille, the writing system based on touch.

Our products improve safety, efficiency and comfort for millions of people every day in automotive, appliance, aircraft, industrial, military, heavy vehicle, heating, air conditioning, data, telecommunications, recreational vehicle and marine applications.

Until 2006, we were called Texas Instruments Sensors & Controls. Today, Sensata is a stand-alone company owned by Bain Capital—and the world's leading supplier of sensors and controls across a broad range of markets and applications.

The qualities that make Sensata successful are our people, our global locations, and our dedication to our customers and products. Being independent gives us the flexibility to invest in new technologies, explore new markets, and open up new opportunities for our customers and employees.
