Since 1983

Sensor Technology began in 1983 when founders Eswar and Shashi Prasad transitioned Blue Mountain Pottery to high-tech pottery called piezoceramics. In 1988, the company moved from selling just ceramics to ceramics and hydrophones. In 2011, the owners of Sensor Technology Ltd. took over as a leading manufacturer of piezoelectric ceramic solutions, custom acoustic tranducers and custom hydrophones. The company’s Collingwood Ontario location is where it formulates the powder, produces ceramics and designs its hydrophones and transducers. Its Dartmouth, Nova Scotia facility is where it manufactures both hydrophones and transducers. All formulations are made in-house and are proprietary to navy standards per region (Canada / US and global). Sensor Technology’s focus for the past year has been evaluating new product lines and making adaptations to accommodate the burgeoning uncrewed vehicles market as well as offshore wind initiatives. As vehicle manufacturers see their needs for customized payloads increase, it has been working together to supply miniaturized acoustic sensors to its partners for their unique missions. As part of its evaluation, the company is in the process of reviewing its offerings for hydrophone preamplifiers with several high-performance options scheduled to be released throughout the year. At its newly acquired Advanced Sonar manufacturing facility, they are designing electronic systems and firmaware with manufacturing beginning in 2023.
