SensorTech began with a revolutionary new idea. Dr. Andrew Clark, an alumnus of Clemson University's Bioengineering Department, led research to develop a method for conducting electricity through a polymer. In 2005 Dr. Clark and Dr. Martine LaBerge, Chair of Clemson's Bioengineering Department, were named co-inventors of this patent pending sensing material.
May 2007: Chuck Pringle and Dr. Clark founded SensorTech and located temporary offices for the Company at the Clemson University incubator facility in Pendleton, SC.
July 2007: SensorTech was admitted into the SC Launch Program and received a University Startup Assistance Grant.
January 2008: The company moved from Pendleton, SC to a larger facility with dedicated research and development space and areas for production located in Greenville, SC.
June 2008: SensorTech became the exclusive licensee for the foundational patent with the Clemson University Research Foundation (CURF). In addition, during 2008 SensorTech was awarded and began work on a research and development contract with the Department of Naval Research for a prosthetics manufacturing system.
January 2009: SensorTech hired its first full time CEO, David Myers.
August 2009: The company received capital funding from UCAN (Upstate Carolina Angel Network),
SC Launch and several private investors. SensorTech has launched its first product and is rapidly pursuing its goal of becoming an advanced materials resource that makes other company's products and processes Smarter with SensorTech™
