About CTS
CTS builds the physical components that go inside other companies' products, supplying sensors, actuators and connectivity parts to manufacturers rather than selling directly to consumers. Cars and trucks use its sensing and actuation hardware, and its connectivity parts turn up in telecom networks and IT systems that need quick, reliable data flow. Beyond that, it produces switches, temperature sensors, potentiometers, and piezoelectric materials and substrates for buyers in medicine, industry, aerospace and defense, and information technology.
Sales move through several routes at once: engineers employed directly by CTS, outside manufacturers' representatives, and independent distributors who carry its parts to a wider set of buyers. Because of this spread, the company ends up touching many different industries instead of relying on one dominant customer group, with its hardware embedded in vehicles, networking equipment, and specialized technical gear.
Founded in 1896, CTS now runs its headquarters from Lisle, Illinois, with activity extending across North America, Europe and Asia. Its stock is listed on the NYSE under the ticker CTS.
