What Sensor Products does

Sensor Products Inc., founded in 1990 and headquartered in Madison, New Jersey, is a privately held specialist in tactile surface pressure and force measurement. The company focuses exclusively on characterizing the distribution and magnitude of pressure between contacting, mating, or impacting surfaces, serving industrial buyers across automotive and transportation, electronics and semiconductor, aerospace and defense, healthcare and medical devices, manufacturing and industrial processing, and consumer products and ergonomics. It does not describe itself as a generalist sensor company; its positioning is "Tactile Pressure Experts," and its enterprise customer roster includes NASA, GE Industrial Solutions, AMD, Siemens, Becton Dickinson, Procter & Gamble, Coloplast, B/E Aerospace, Kraft, Folgers, and Printpack.

The firm's product portfolio rests on two complementary measurement modalities. The first is disposable pressure-indicating sensor films, anchored by its authorized distribution of Fujifilm Prescale in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean; these Mylar-based films contain microcapsules that rupture and change color under load and are offered across pressure ranges from 0.87 PSI (Ultra Extreme Low) to 43,200 PSI, with adjacent offerings such as Surface Profiler Film, Pressurex-micro, TemprX thermal protection film, and Fujifilm Thermoscale / Thermex temperature-indicating films. The second is the proprietary Tactilus matrix-based real-time surface pressure mapping platform, including Flex, Free Form, Stretch, Nano-Polymer Core H- and C-series, Ultra High Density, Ultra Sensitive, and application-specific variants (Bicycle Seat, Nip Impression H-Series, R-Series, Y-Series patient movement monitor), complemented by the Topaq pressure analysis software, Auto-Nis, DigiNip, EZ-Nip, and Sigma-Nip roller alignment tools, Mold-Align, and Bodyfitter mattress fitting systems.

Sensor Products generates revenue through five streams: hardware sales of pressure-indicating films, hardware sales of real-time Tactilus sensor systems, professional analysis services via Topaq, in-house consulting and R&D engineering, and equipment rental/lease. Pricing is quote-based for custom Tactilus systems and unit-priced for standard film sheets (US$74 per 30 cm x 27 cm sheet). Distribution is multi-channel: direct inside-sales via toll-free and main lines, an owned e-commerce storefront, a worldwide distributor network for international markets, and application-engineering consultation supported by a free-sensor sample program for lead generation. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors.
