Spectron

Spectron Glass and Electronics, Inc.—first founded in 1947 as Spectron Glass Laboratories—was originally established as a neon sign manufacturer. However, the focus of the company rapidly changed direction and in 1948, Spectron began building electrolytic tilt sensors, under contract from the Sperry Gyroscope Co. Realizing the vast potential of the sensor market, Spectron dedicated itself thereafter exclusively to the development and manufacture of various glass based electrolytic tilt sensors. Our technology is proprietary, made in the USA, and with trademark exclusivity is designed and manufactured by our talented staff of engineers and technicians, in Long Island, NY. 

Spectron emerged over decades, producing state of the art tilt sensors for both the military and commercial marketplaces, and to our good fortune, that marketplace today is continuing to expand over 60 years later.  With current customers including Avionics, Maritime, Construction, Satellites, Medical, Navigation and Positioning Systems to name a few, our tilt sensors have been designed into most of the free world’s jet aircraft flight communication and navigation systems, both fixed and rotary.
