Monitoring of rotating parts is critical to avoid plant stoppage, including crushers and conveyors. Although it is only four years since Hansford Sensors was formed by Managing Director, Chris Hansford, the company has grown consistently over this time and exports over 80% of its turnover. This was recently recognised with this award.

Hansford commented, “With the downturn in the economy in the UK, we set our sights on overseas markets and now sell our vibration sensors into over 40 countries. Asia has been particularly fruitful, with an incredible rise in products sold into the Australian marketplace, thanks to the hard work of our distributor in New South Wales.”

He continued, ” We are now working at attacking other export areas and we have recently visited Mexico and the USA, discussing how our products can be applied into the maintenance management of industrial plant and machinery .”

He also praised the team back at the new premises: “Their enthusiasm, efforts and dedication have all contributed to the growth and success of the company.”
