LLANWRTYD WELLS, Wales - Feb. 25, 2025 - PRLog -- Charcroft Electronics has completed the acquisition of Sensor Techniques, a distributor of load cells and strain gauges used in weighing and force measurement for over 20 years.

The Sensor Techniques load cells and strain gauges are used extensively in industrial, harsh and ATEX-rated environments, in addition to applications in automotive and transport weighbridges, elevated platforms or scissor lifts in construction, and for tensioning and weighing in agricultural applications.

The founder of Sensor Techniques, Rob Forrest, explained why Charcroft offers a good fit for the future supply of load cells and strain gauges. "Charcroft is a specialist distributor and manufacturer or high-reliability components and also has maintained a long-term franchise with VPG.
