Our Staff
Jim Hampson has many years experience with sensors and instrumentation. After college at Western Washington University, Jim went to work for Boeing were he was involved with the corporate expansion to design, build and produce the 747 commercial aircraft. He worked in a new technology group that determined what was required to build this new commercial jet, then searched and qualified companies capable of supporting this effort, then helping to develop and manage projects to get the new equipment implemented at Boeing. This evolved into working in support groups for the SST, 757 and 767 as well. After Boeing, Jim worked for a manufacturers representative that operated from three offices on the west coast and pioneered new products from Sony Magnescale, Optical Gaging Products, Perkin Elmer and numerous others. Jim has worked for; Nicolet Instrument Corp. developing and applying digital oscilloscope, Anderson Electric Controls developing and applying closed loop vector drives and controllers, and then with Syntek representing various sensors & instrumentation products throughout the Northwest.

Product Lines
Sensors Northwest focuses upon sensor technology and the related instrumentation such as panel meters & indicators, signal conditioners, integrated data loggers and wireless transmitters. We operate as a rep and not a distributor, allowing us an exclusive agreement so we can encourage customers to place orders directly with our principals and be paid a commission for that business activity in the territory we are contracted to cover. In that way, we can offer free engineering and application support to our customer base with the direction and guidance of our principals, we can demonstrate and present the technology and products of our principals throughout the territory we cover, we can provide quotations and order entry assistance and we can invest resources into new account development and qualification. The product lines on our line card and website are working with us in this manner, with very few exceptions.
Coverage Area
Sensors Northwest covers the following
geographical areas; WA, OR, ID, Western MT and AK. We encourage and develop a group of integrators throughout this territory who we bring project opportunities and who in turn will use our sensors. This allows us to develop companies with strong technical expertise and experience, in specific geographical areas providing systems using our sensors on projects for that area. This allows us to be much more diversified in our coverage and be effective at pulp & paper mills, wastewater plants, semiconductor plants, food processing facilities and etc. Our sensor products typically have applications in a broad range of markets and we feel we must make every effort to cover all of those markets to be worthy of their representation.
