MTS Sensors

MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC) is a global supplier of mechanical testing systems and position sensors for a wide variety of markets and applications. A pioneer in precision force and motion control, MTS leverages more than 40 years of industry experience to provide products that determine the mechanical behavior of materials, products and structures.

MTS Sensors (a Division of MTS Systems Corp.) has manufacturing facilities located in America, Europe, and Asia that deliver leading-edge position and liquid-level sensors, and is the world's leading supplier of magnetostrictive-based sensor products. The Sensors Division was created by MTS Systems when it acquired Temposonics, Inc. in 1984. Temposonics remains the key technology brand for MTS Sensors and reflects an ongoing commitment to high-precision position and liquid level measurement technology development.

MTS Sensors remains a highly focused technology company that provides the kind of customer service and support you typically find in smaller organizations, but as part of a larger publicly held corporation, MTS Sensors also offers the kind of financial security that companies need from their key suppliers. Great technology, personalized service, and financial strength and stability are three solid reasons to choose MTS Sensors as your primary supplier of position and liquid-level sensors.
