MTR100With a heritage dating back 100 years and experience of supplying >20 million devices, Silicon Sensing Systems is a leading company in the development and manufacture of MEMS gyroscopes, accelerometers and inertial sys-tems. Our high performance products, CRS09, CRS39 and CRH01 (performance less than 0.3°/hr) provide cost effec- tive alternatives to FOG-based products. Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd. is one half of a joint venture based in Plymouth, UK in the southwest of England. It is a gyroscope and inertial systems engineering development company. Jointly owned by UTC Aerospace Systems, who are based on the same site in Plymouth, and Sumitomo Pre-cision Products, the company was formed in 1999. The two companies each bring an equal strength to the joint venture. UTC Aerospace can trace its heritage in gyroscopes and in- ertial sensors back to the Sperry Gyroscope Company which was founded in 1913. Sumitomo Precision Products, based in Amagasaki, Japan, bring a unique expertise in the  eld of silicon MEMS fabrication. CompanyCompanySilicon Sensing has 100 years of experience in design, in- tellectual Property and innovation expertise of the design and development of inertial system as well as being developers and manufacturers of deep reactive-ion etchers essential for MEMS production. Its two facilities in Plymouth, UK and Amagasaki, Japan have the full range of manufacturing and test equipment to allow all of our work to be done in-house. Both sites are fully quali ed to ISO 9001 and ISO14001.
