Suprock Technologies

What Suprock Technologies does

Suprock Technologies is a privately held, founder-led engineering firm founded in 2007 by Dr. Christopher Suprock and headquartered in Warren, New Hampshire. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing extreme-environment sensor and telemetry systems that capture strain, vibration, torque, pressure, and power measurements in conditions where conventional instrumentation fails — including temperatures above 3000°F, accelerations of 35,000 Gs, electromagnetic-interference-heavy motor spindle environments, and rotating equipment where battery or contact-based telemetry is impractical. Core technologies include proprietary wireless battery-free telemetry, direct digitization at the sensor source (140dB dynamic range), semiconductor high-temperature strain gages fabricated using a proprietary Syncrotron ULTRAHIPIMS coating process (20,000W/in² power density, 100x faster than conventional sputtering), and EMI-immune data transmission over standard coaxial cable.

The product portfolio centers on the TDMS (Turbine Dynamics Monitoring System) flagship platform, complemented by wireless torque sensors, USB and coax vibration/strain sensors, microtelemetry modules, hypersonic pressure sensors, the Turbo Commander VGT controller, EBOP test kits, and supporting Acheron GUI and Mondo Viewer software. Revenue is generated through four streams: custom and semi-custom sensor hardware sales, telemetry system sales, downloadable software licensing, and custom sensor development engineering services — all delivered under a quote-based, multi-year contract model. The company serves power generation utilities (Ontario Power Generation, AEP, Exelon, TVA, SRP, CEZ, Enel), aerospace and defense (Sikorsky, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Rheinmetall), manufacturing and machine tools (via Caron Engineering and GTI Predictive channel partners), automotive and motorsport, marine, and steel/paper mills.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales led by the founder, strategic channel partnerships with Caron Engineering (since 2008) and GTI Predictive (since 2011) that embed Suprock sensors into partner platforms, industry event presence (IMTS, HydroVision), and an EPRI research collaboration that generates industry-wide published validation. The company operates with 1-10 employees (3 named staff), has no disclosed external funding, and is controlled by the founder with no parent company or institutional investors identified in the data.
