Sensata Technologies, Inc. was previously known as Texas Instruments Sensors & Controls. The name Sensata comes from the Latin word sensata, meaning “those gifted with sense”. Their logo is inspired by Braille, the writing system based on touch.
Sensata Technologies began as General Plate Company, a business that was founded on April 24, 1916 by Rathbun Willard to provide "gold plate" for the nearby Rhode Island jewelry industry. In 1931, the company merged with Spencer Thermostat Company of Cambridge, Mass. and formed Metals & Controls Corporation. This merger later attracted the attention of Texas Instruments and resulted in the 1959 merger between TI and the former Metals & Controls.
The business began expanding its operations internationally in 1955, when it opened a sales office and small manufacturing plant in Holland. Throughout the 1950s, additional plants were established in several other international locations. In 1963, Texas Instruments renamed the division Materials & Controls. The business was renamed Sensors & Controls when the Materials business was sold in 2000.
In April, 2006, Texas Instruments sold the business to Bain Capital and Sensor & Controls became a stand-alone entity named Sensata Technologies. In November, 2006, Sensata purchased the First Technology Automotive and Special Products business from Honeywell. This was followed in March, 2007, by the purchase of SMaL Camera from Cypress Semiconductor. In July 2007, Sensata acquired Airpax Holdings, Inc. and its four subsidiaries. Sensata sold the former SMaL Camera business to Melexis in 2009. The company completed a successful initial public offering in 2010.
Sensata Technologies, Inc. is a publicly traded organization on the New York Stock Exchange as (NYSE:ST)
