History

SENSYS® was founded in 1982 as a development company. In 1987 our activities expanded when a Swedish tender requested technology that could fulfil the stringent requirements of the Swedish National Police Board. SENSYS won the tender and has been supplying systems to the Swedish Government ever since.

SENSYS modified its strategy 2001 by accelerating development and starting to expand outside Sweden. We have since received orders from Australia, China, Finland, Iran, Kingdom of Bahrain, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malta, Mauritius, Norway, United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Ajman, Sharsja), the United States, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and Taiwan.
