Mts Systems's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
For relatively simple and inexpensive mechanical testing applications, customers may satisfy their needs internally by building their own test systems or using competitors who compete on price, performance, quality and service. For larger and more complex mechanical test systems, we compete directly with several companies throughout the world based upon customer value including application knowledge, engineering capabilities, technical features, price, quality and service.
Sensors Segment
We primarily compete on factors that include technical performance, price and service in new applications or in situations in which other position sensing technologies have been used. Sensors’ competitors are typically either larger companies that carry multiple sensor product lines or smaller, privately held companies throughout the world.
