Company anniversary
FT Technologies celebrates its 30th anniversary
FT Technologies was founded in 1981, originally focussing on defence based research projects. Peter Elgar, one of the founders recalls, 'When we started thirty years ago we could not foresee that this company would grow from the proverbial two men-in-a-garage to the successful business it is today.'
Over the past ten years the company has grown to become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of ultrasonic wind sensors for wind turbines, with more than 95% of its production being exported.
The most tested wind sensor
FT wind sensors are mostly used to control wind turbines across the world. This is very demanding as the sensors have to work continuously for years in all weathers. Since their introduction, FT wind sensors have been through extensive development to meet these and other demands. “All the hard work is now paying off as we are seeing sales volume increase dramatically”, says Savvas Kapartis, Technical Director. “In 2011 we will double our production capacity and will employ new staff”.
Celebrating together: The directors Peter Elgar, Savvas Kapartis, and their team.
The directors used this opportunity to thank their 36 employees. “Our success is owed to the team’s continuous efforts. We are very proud of their accomplishments and are looking forward to the next thirty years”, says Peter Elgar.
