## About

EmiSense Technologies develops advanced sensing solutions for automotive emissions management, focusing on electrostatic sensors that measure ultrafine particulate matter for compliance with stringent environmental regulations.Founded in 2009 by Patrick Thompson, EmiSense Technologies is headquartered in Salt Lake City, US. The company specializes in emission measurement technologies and has pivoted towards developing cloud-connected telemetry systems. In March 2013, it secured a USD 6.5 mn Series C investment led by 9th Street Capital, raising its total funding to USD 6.5 mn with two deals executed to date.EmiSense specializes in advanced sensing technologies, focusing primarily on its flagship product, the PMTrac® Electrostatic PM/PN sensors (ePM). These sensors are designed for the direct measurement of ultrafine particulate matter, including both Particulate Mass (PM) and Particulate Number (PN), crucial for ensuring near-zero emissions from diverse engine types such as gasoline, diesel, biofuels, and natural gas. The company also develops cloud-connected emissions telemetry systems under the EmTrac® brand. These innovative solutions are tailored for various applications, including on-board diagnostics and monitoring for hybrids, clean diesel, and gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. EmiSense products are primarily targeted at automotive manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and industries needing compliance with stringent emissions regulations. The company operates in international markets, including Europe, North America, and Asia, particularly in regions requiring compliance with evolving emissions standards such as Euro-7 and China's China-7.EmiSense generates revenue through licensing agreements and partnerships with automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers, leveraging its innovative IP portfolio. The company’s transaction framework typically involves long-term contracts for the supply of its PMTrac® sensors and EmTrac® telemetry systems, wherein clients integrate these products into their own manufacturing processes. Revenue is driven by both one-time licensing fees and recurring royalties based on sales of installed sensors. Specific pricing models for these products are structured to reflect their advanced technology and the critical role they play in regulatory compliance, although precise pricing details are not disclosed. The company has established a client base that includes major automotive players and industries committed to improving air quality and meeting regulatory standards.EmiSense Technologies plans to leverage the USD 6.5 mn from its most recent Series C investment to enhance its product offerings and expand market reach. The company is currently designing new products aimed at improving the efficiency and accuracy of its sensing technologies, with a target release date in late 2024. Furthermore, EmiSense is looking to penetrate new geographic markets in Asia and Europe by 2025, aligning with the tightening of emissions regulations in these regions. These initiatives will support the company's goal of becoming a critical partner for automotive manufacturers aiming to meet evolving compliance standards.
