BD SENSORS

What BD SENSORS does

BD SENSORS s.r.o. is a Czech Republic-headquartered private manufacturer of electronic pressure and level measurement instruments, operating as the industrial-sensor division of the diversified BDS Group since 1993. The company produces a comprehensive portfolio spanning pressure transmitters (DMP series), differential pressure sensors (DMD series), digital pressure gauges (DM series and BAROLI), submersible and flush-mount hydrostatic level probes (LMK/LMP series), electronic pressure switches (DS series), and display/evaluation units (PA series), supported by accessories such as terminal boxes and pressure shock absorbers plus the BD|LOG data-analysis software.

The company's core technology stack combines proprietary ceramic capacitive and stainless steel sensor elements with 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and active compensation for nonlinearity and thermal error, delivering precision down to 0.05% across pressure ranges from 0.1 mbar to 6000 bar and level ranges from 0 to 250 mH2O. An unusually broad regulatory certification portfolio — ATEX (multiple variants), IECEx, SIL 2, DVGW, KTW, EHEDG, 3A, GL, DNV, CCS, and oxygen-application approvals — enables deployment across hazardous-area, hygienic, drinking-water, marine, and oxygen-service applications; the firm also operates an in-house accredited calibration laboratory.

Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales distributed via direct factory sales from Buchlovice headquarters and a regional channel-partner network that includes SIMEX Sp. z o.o. for Poland and TIPTEH d.o.o. (with five branches) for the Balkans region, complemented by recurring presence at industrial trade shows such as SENSOR+TEST in Nuremberg and WOD-KAN in Poland. End-customer verticals span industrial manufacturing (primary), water management, energy and power, food and beverage, chemical, gas, mining, and machinery, with revenue derived predominantly from non-recurring equipment sales of standard products and custom variants configured by combining different housing materials with various sensor types.
