Gastops

What Gastops does

Gastops Ltd. is a privately held Canadian condition-monitoring company founded in 1979 and headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, with additional offices in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and Huntsville, Alabama. The company delivers physics-based monitoring and predictive-maintenance solutions for critical rotating equipment — including gas turbines, gearboxes, wind turbines, marine propulsion systems, and aerospace engines — to manufacturers and operators in the aerospace, defense, energy, and marine sectors.

Its product portfolio centers on three proprietary sensor technologies: MetalSCAN (real-time online metal wear-debris detection), ChipCHECK (at-line wear-debris detection for aircraft inspections), and FluidSIGHT™ (oil condition monitoring). These hardware products are wrapped by the Connect Monitoring Services digital platform for remote condition intelligence, and complemented by MRO, Engineering, and Laboratory services that integrate sensor data with domain expertise to deliver maintenance recommendations.

Gastops generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware and sensor sales, recurring subscription/monitoring fees via the Connect platform and MRO contracts, and professional services for laboratory analysis and engineering consulting. Distribution is executed through direct enterprise field sales targeting engineering and maintenance decision-makers at major OEMs and operators, with quote-based pricing reflecting consultative, high-ACV deal structures. The company reports 40,000+ installations, 500+ customers and partners, and over 1 billion cumulative operating hours of monitored equipment, with flagship program positions including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II and the Vestas EnVentus wind turbine platform.
