CTS Corp. is a U.S.-based manufacturer of sensors, connectivity components, and actuators used in engineered electronic systems. The company traces its roots to 1896 and today serves OEMs, tier-one suppliers, and the U.S. Government across transportation, industrial, medical, and aerospace and defense markets. Its business is organized around three product families: Sense, Connect, and Move, which reflect the functions its components perform inside customer equipment. CTS sells highly application-specific products and relies heavily on sales engineers to work with customers during design and development. It operates manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia, and Europe and maintains a global sales footprint to support multinational customers.
