Largely unexplored and not well understood, whether you live by an ocean or not, it impacts us all. Important to our very survival, every second breath we take is from the ocean, it’s home to marine species, and it connects us through transport and international commerce. Yet, today, we know more about space than we […]
Last month, we were delighted to host a group of 14 dedicated young ladies from Pathfinder Girl Guides of Canada. This group took a refreshing interest in a growing global topic of importance; Ocean Technology. It’s an industry they didn’t seem to even know was a possible career avenue before the tour of our state-of-the-art […]
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 […]
Since we went through our rebranding efforts in 2021, this quote has stuck with me as a pillar of our culture at SensorTech. Doing what we say and saying what we do has become a firm ethos in our manufacturing environment, but beyond that, giving back to our people and our community is important to […]
Sometimes the path to success isn’t as direct as we would like. I was fortunate to have worked at a startup that proliferated and went public in the early 90s. With a bit of cash in hand, my buddy Dave and I decided to strike out on our own to see what products we could […]
Setting an Example for Life on Both Sides of the Boardroom Doors You can almost consider this post as part two of my April Blog, “Sensor Technology – It Runs in the Family.” My mother, Shashi Prasad, built Sensor Technology alongside my father from the ground up. They incorporated the business in May of 1983 when […]
If you had asked me 20 years ago where I saw myself in 5/10/15 years, taking over the family business was definitely not in my sights. I grew up as an only child to immigrant parents in a small town in Ontario (my adopted sister came later in life). This was significant in itself, but […]
Why sport is so important to me, and how having goals/races drive me in business In the late 90s, I was making my way through high school, and if you asked my peers, I would not have fit the Sporty Spice persona. I was musical, sure. Nerdy or weird for certain. Yet it wasn’t until […]
Anyone that knows me knows that food is a big part of my life. My colleagues at work have witnessed me trying to explain what I made the night before for dinner through my leftovers. I’m pretty picky about making sure that snacks are always available at work, at both of our facilities, and I […]
I remember boarding a flight from Toronto to Halifax as North America began to shut down. I ran into a client and friend at YYZ who was shocked to know that I was leaving my family behind to make the 2000 km trip to our newest facility. The airport was a mess of panicked travellers, […]
