What Process Parameters does

Process Parameters Limited is a privately-held UK manufacturer of custom-built industrial temperature sensors, headquartered in Maidenhead, Berkshire. The company was founded in 2004 by Jonathan Apperley and operates as a small, founder-owned business. Its core manufactured products are platinum resistance thermometers (Pt100/Pt1000 RTDs) and industrial thermocouples (Types J, K, T, E, N), often built to customer specification using mineral insulated construction. In addition to its own manufactured range, Process Parameters is the official UK and Ireland distributor for Optris non-contact infrared thermometers, pyrometers, and thermal imaging cameras, and an authorised partner for Nokeval precision instrumentation, including the NSnappy wireless environmental monitoring platform with up to 10 km transmission range. Ancillary offerings include UKAS traceable calibration services, 4-20mA temperature transmitters, signal conditioners, USB data loggers, thermowells, handheld thermometers, and pressure/level sensors.

The company's revenue mechanics split across three streams: one-time hardware sales of manufactured sensors priced roughly £18.70 to £140+ per unit depending on accuracy and configuration; resale/distribution of Optris and Nokeval product lines under exclusive regional agreements; and recurring/ancillary calibration and installation services. Pricing for custom sensors and project work is quote-based, while standard catalogue products are sold through a direct e-commerce storefront and via phone/email sales engagement. Its go-to-market is sales-led B2B, with an in-house engineering team that consults on application requirements and supports OEM integration; marketing is dominated by an SEO-optimised technical knowledge base and downloadable brochures rather than paid advertising.

Process Parameters serves multiple verticals: industrial manufacturing and process control (its primary segment), food and beverage cold-chain monitoring, museums and heritage institutions, life sciences and pharmaceutical laboratories, waste recycling facilities (for lithium-ion battery fire prevention), and OEM equipment manufacturers. Geographic reach is the United Kingdom and Ireland, with no evidence of operation beyond these two markets.
