FT Technologies is a market-leading SME based in Surrey and Madrid. Specialising in designing and manufacturing ultrasonic wind sensors, also known as anemometers or air-flow sensors.

The wind energy industry is growing, and FT is growing with it; this is your place if you care about sustainability and the green revolution. In the last decade, we have tripled in size. We employ around 120 brilliant minds who contribute to our mission: _to engineer invention through _**_curiosity_**_ and _**_creativity_**_ using our core technology._

The development of our current technology will enable us to better serve our existing customers in wind energy.
