As a global company dedicated to manufacturing products that enrich people’s lives and improve safety, Sensata is especially saddened by the events that have unfolded in Japan as a result of last week’s earthquake.  This is an epic tragedy and our first concern is for those impacted and the country of Japan.  Our initial assessment is that our employees and business partners are safe.  We will continue to evaluate the situation, both from a business and personnel standpoint, and we will provide further updates as more information becomes available.  Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this disaster.
