Using these attributes efficiently results in our ability to deliver to you a premium product at an unparalleled value.
Our core objective is to provide professional guidance and service at the highest level. We understand the value of time, technically competent solutions, and high value results. Measurement applications require an in-depth understanding of mechanical and electrical properties to create optimum results for any given situation. We speak your language when it comes to a stand-alone component, systems integration, or high volume O.E.M. ingenuity.
Sentran’s custom engineered solutions
At Sentran, LLC we understand that an off-the-shelf solution sometimes doesn’t meet the demands of commercial or industrial application challenges. Sentran application engineers are professionals, well-trained to assist customers with their application problems and to work closely with you to develop the best possible solution for your specific need. Problem solving isn’t just something we do. It is the most important thing we do… and we do it every day.
Creativity is the hallmark of our design process and that requires Sentran to leverage technologically advanced programs and facilities to create the most compelling solutions in the shortest amount of time. With the advantage of multiple work centers, Sentran is proficient at providing standard and customized solutions ranging from single piece requirements to O.E.M volumes in the tens of thousands. Technological superiority is the leading factor that sets us apart from others. We deliver by addressing the critical influence factors that can abbreviate product life. Be it manufacturing methods, performance testing, temperature, environment, electrical interference, or any other concerns, our low failure rate is a testament to our science.

How high quality creates value
It is sometimes tempting to chose a component or service solution for your project based on lowest cost, particularly if you are working with tight price constraints. In certain circumstances, the lower cost option may have merit; however, when it comes to technical products that must perform under the rigorous conditions common to industrial applications, low cost almost always means compromising the application in some manner.
Studies consistently show that high quality products and services, which typically represent a somewhat higher initial cost, prove to be of much greater value in the long-run. As the saying goes, “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Selecting high quality products and services yields a variety of benefits for both the supplier and the customer. Trust, goodwill, long-term reliability and customer satisfaction translate into a strong brand, future opportunities, and enhanced profitability.
Holding a high standard for products and services quality has a demonstrable influence on an organizations culture as well. Employees of a company that is uncompromising in its proposition for delivering only high quality results are exceptionally dedicated, enjoy their contribution, are more productive and are less likely to become complacent and/ or dissatisfied.
As the graphic below illustrates, compromising on quality can result in diminished performance, reliability and profitability.
