Introduction IMI TWTG

We are IMI TWTG. And since 2012 we have been engineering and producing sensors. Wireless sensors for the oil and gas industry. Sensors to make sites safer and smarter. Sensors designed for high volume and international deployments.

With a group of highly motivated people we work every day to grow a little bit bigger. We do this from our HQ in Rotterdam where engineers sit next to business developers during joint lunches.

We don’t believe there are many companies out there that can do what we do and we want to do more of it - we have the customers to back up our claims.

For this we need to find the specialists that can support and bring their own perspective to our ambition. If that’s you, we’d like to hear from you.
