Specialist marine trade distributor Technical Marine Supplies (TMS) has signed a distribution agreement with FT Technologies to supply the company’s FT series wind sensors to the maritime sector across Europe.

The agreement outlines that TMS will manage distribution across the region, while stock will be held in the UK.

FT Technologies develops ultrasonic wind sensors within its FT series, which are used in maritime applications that require consistent measurement performance. They are billed as being particularly suitable for operation in challenging conditions.

The partnership provides TMS with access to FT Technologies’ product range through its existing marine distribution network. The company will also provide technical support alongside the supply.

“FT Technologies’ reputation for precision engineering and robust performance is unmatched in the industry, and we are delighted to bring their wind sensor technology to our maritime customers across Europe,” says Nick Cook, senior sales manager at Technical Marine Supplies. “At TMS, we take great pride in representing brands that share our commitment to reliability, innovation and service excellence. This partnership strengthens our ability to support marine professionals with high‑quality, future‑ready solutions, backed by UK stockholding and specialist technical knowledge.”

Chris Trodden, head of business development at FT Technologies, adds: “We’re really excited to partner with Technical Marine Supplies, whose strong commitment to quality and performance in the marine sector makes them an ideal fit. Their deep specialist understanding, combined with exceptional customer focus and passion for service, aligns with our mission to deliver highly reliable measurement solutions to maritime professionals worldwide.”
