Since its founding in 1947 as Spectron Glass Laboratories, Spectron Sensors has built its identity around American-made sensor engineering in Long Island, New York. The company first produced neon signs before shifting to electrolytic tilt-sensor work for Sperry Gyroscope in 1948, then developing proprietary technology for demanding aerospace, military, and industrial applications. Its staff works directly with customers’ engineers on custom sensing solutions, including equipment designed for extreme environments.
Stellar TechnologyWith roots in aerospace, Stellar Technology designs, manufactures and services custom-engineered sensors from its Amherst, New York, operation. The roughly 30-year-old U.S. manufacturer works from nearly 80,000 square feet of environmentally controlled engineering, manufacturing and machining facilities, with custom applications as a particular strength. Its quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D.BLACKLICK, OH
BH SensorsFounded in 2003, BH Sensors engineers, manufactures, and licenses customized sensors and sensing systems built around patented non-contact electromagnetic-field technology. The Pomona, New York company uses a clean-sheet “whiteboard approach” rather than off-the-shelf designs, tailoring sensors for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Its technology is also prequalified by the U.S. Department of Defense and has been applied to naval and other military systems.POMONA, NY
Everight PositionEveright Position is a U.S. company known for hands-on engineering support when a standard sensor will not fit a demanding application.
