QUALITY AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO.

FT Technologies is a market-leading SME based in Surrey and Madrid, specialising in designing and manufacturing ultrasonic wind sensors – also known as anemometers or air-flow sensors. FT ultrasonic wind sensors are unique because we use acoustic resonance to measure wind speed, direction, and temperature using an acoustic wave resonated inside a small cavity.
The wind energy industry is growing, and FT is growing with it; this is your place if you care about sustainability and the green revolution. In the last decade, we have tripled in size. We employ around 100 brilliant minds who contribute to our mission: to engineer invention through curiosity and creativity using our core technology.

The development of our current technology will enable us to serve our existing customers in wind energy better. The invention of new products and manufacturing technology, with significant company investment and growth, will offer our wind sensors’ unique strengths to meteorology, marine and defence customers.
