What our partners say:

The SenTherm product design team combines strong technical expertise with an in-depth understanding of our capabilities and needs as a precision mould maker. Their knowledge of thermally conductive polymers ensured the moulds were designed to suit their SenTherm TCP materials and deliver consistent product quality. They worked closely with us at every stage of the project, from design concept through to production components, making collaboration straightforward and ensuring the final designs were accurate and practical.
Peter Crossen, Business Development Manager, Crossen Engineering Ltd
It is a very exciting time for the SenTherm team as they complete the development of their innovative SenTherm range of thermally conductive polymers (TCPs). During 2025, I had the pleasure of working with this highly experienced and enthusiastic team and completed an independent product application assessment of the SenTherm TCPs from a thermal design & analysis perspective. With over 40 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering supporting the Defence, Telecoms & Automotive Industries specialising in the area of Cooling Electronics, I am excited to see a new range of TCP materials providing alternatives to traditional metals in heat-sink solutions.
