Designed & built
Built for conditions other sensors can't survive.
Ultrasonic measurement has no moving parts, no bearings to wear, no cups to ice over. That's why Gill sensors run for 15 to 20 years. Many run even longer.
Where our sensors work
Nine industries. One engineering philosophy.

Why engineers pick Gill
Six things our customers say again and again, across four decades of measurement.
01
40+ years of ultrasonic
Gill pioneered the ultrasonic anemometer. Four decades of refinement sit inside every sensor we ship today.
02
Chosen for headline projects
Specified on the Mayflower Autonomous Ship, the Saildrone world-record USV, the Burj Khalifa, and Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
03
No moving parts
Ultrasonic measurement eliminates the wear, bearing drift, and icing failures of mechanical cup anemometers.
04
Designed and built in the UK
All products engineered and manufactured in Lymington, Hampshire. Quality-controlled end to end.
05
King's Award for Enterprise
Awarded for International Trade and presented by HM Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire.
06
UKAS-accredited calibration
Through Labcal, the group's independent calibration laboratory, so the data you rely on is verifiable.
