What 费加罗传感科技(上海)有限公司 does

Figaro Sensing Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (费加罗传感科技(上海)有限公司), operating as FSS, is the wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary and authorized exclusive distributor of Figaro Engineering Inc. (Osaka, Japan) for the China market. Formally registered in December 2014 with its dedicated Chinese-language website launched in February 2016, FSS is headquartered in Shanghai (Room 1705, No. 511 Weihai Road, Jingan District) and operates with a team of 16 employees. The company sells Figaro-branded gas sensors and modules across four detection technologies — semiconductor (MOS), electrochemical, catalytic combustion, and NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) — covering detection of combustible gases (methane, propane, hydrogen), toxic gases (CO, H2S, ammonia), refrigerants (A2L/A3 including R-32), air pollutants (VOC, odors), CO2, and breath acetone.\n\nFSS's product portfolio spans core gas sensors (TGS series for CO, CO2, air quality, hydrogen, acetone, methane), application modules with built-in signal processing (FCM series for refrigerant leak detection, CMM series for CO), and evaluation modules (EM26AQS for air quality, EM1820 for acetone). Products are certified to UL2034, EN50291, EN54-31, and RoHS2 standards, and are manufactured in Japan with individual calibration on computer-controlled test equipment with full traceability. Notable proprietary technologies include the CDM7162's single-beam dual-wavelength NDIR design with calibration-free software compensation, and the EM26AQS's built-in signal processing software that converts sensor voltage output into air pollution level classifications.\n\nThe company operates a sales-led go-to-market model, selling directly to enterprise customers via a website quote-request form with an MOQ of 1 unit, enabling both small-batch prototyping and volume procurement. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through hardware sales of gas sensors and modules. FSS serves four primary segments: residential/consumer (gas alarms, air quality devices), commercial & industrial (HVAC, BEMS, refrigeration, battery safety), transportation (vehicle gas monitoring), and healthcare/wellness (breath acetone monitoring). Distribution is supported by participation in major Chinese industry exhibitions (SENSOR CHINA, GAS & Heating China, ESIE, China Refrigeration Expo, CAPE China, Beijing Fresh Air Expo) and a library of Chinese-language technical documentation. Figaro Group has authorized only three companies as official distributors in China, of which FSS is one, creating a tightly controlled exclusive channel position.
