Hamlin reaches massive milestone with 300 millionth sensor

Long-standing sensor expert Hamlin Electronics has delivered its 300 millionth safing sensor since it created the market in 1983.

The company supplies a range on non-contact and 'smart' sensors for driveline and engine management systems and developed the first Reed Switch technology, commonly used in airbag deployment systems and seatbelt pretentioners.

Since developed by Hamlin, 300 million vehicle safing sensors have been shipped with no recorded instance of failure or uncommanded deployment in an accident situation.

Simon Pitkin, Director of Global Sales and Marketing, said: "This is an important milestone in Hamlin's history and testament to the reliable and innovative products we have developed.

"Hamlin is continually striving to advance the technology we offer and I am positive there will be many more milestones such as this in the future."

In addition to manufacturing safety sensors Hamlin is working extensively in the engine management field, developing technology to measure speed, direction and movement as well as optimising an engine's performance in terms of emission control.

Hamlin's global headquarters are in Diss, Norfolk, with support and manufacturing facilities in Europe, Mexico, China, India and North America. The company has over 800 employees worldwide and an annual turnover of $70 million.
