2. Sherborne Sensors – Who Are We?
Sherborne Sensors can be traced back to 1945 starting as Schaevitz Engineering, a USA based
manufacturer of LVDT’s and other precision sensors. The New Jersey headquartered firm then has
moved to Basingstoke, UK where we Engineer, manufacture, service and calibrate our products today.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards and quality and are ISO 9001: 2015 compliant and are the
only manufacturer of our kind to be AS9100 Rev D Certified that brings our standards up to add
Aerospace quality standards
