About DTi

In December 2025, Device Technologies (DTi) was acquired by Essentra plc, a leading global provider of essential components and solutions. The two companies know each other well, as DTi has successfully partnered with Essentra on key distribution projects.

Scott Fawcett, CEO of Essentra, said: “We are pleased to welcome another high-quality business, with a strong track record of growth, into the Essentra Group. DTi strengthens Essentra’s product portfolio, expands our presence in the Americas, and unlocks significant cross-selling opportunities.”

In the short term, as the two companies integrate products and systems, nothing will change.
However, over time we expect to offer greater value to all our customers through an expanded solution portfolio and domestic/international distribution possibilities.

Device Technologies, Inc., began production in an old farmhouse basement in 1984, expanded to a New England barn, and is now in an expanding, 20,000 square foot climate-controlled Class A facility.

Our first solution was providing Digital Equipment Corporation (now HP) with a UL94 V-0 Spring-Fast® Wire Protection Grommet Edging for their premier VAX Mainframe computer. The key benefits it offered were installation cost savings of at least  49%, a 9.5X increase in productivity, and the elimination of slow and toxic adhesives.

From this humble beginning, the high-performance Spring-Fast® wire protection grommet product line has grown and qualified for use in such hostile environments as high-and-low temperature, salt spray, chemical immersion, shock, vibration, and high dielectric strength.

Dedication and consistent conformance to customer needs under an ISO 9001 and AS9100 Quality Control System has contributed to the steady growth of Device Technologies, Inc. It enhances our preferred vendor status to customers throughout the world, encompassing a broad segment of industries such as Aerospace, Computer Servers & Storage, Defense, Food Processing, Information Technology, Imaging and Medical Equipment, Power Systems, Renewable Energy, Telecommunications and Rail/Transportation.

With our “Designed 2 Protect” wire protection solutions readily accepted by industry, even greater demands were created to further develop new and additional materials. Our team of innovative engineers and critical partners have pioneered and grown the critical equipment protection solutions to a new level, leading the industry with our fiber management, enclosure seals, thermal management, EMI shielding, braided sleeving, and more.

Device Technologies has been designing and manufacturing innovative solutions for the OEM industry and electromechanical product manufacturers since 1984, with design expertise that embodies more than 155 years of multi-disciplinary processing, materials technology around an ergonomic specialty fastener vision, experience and perspective.

We continue our Founder’s legacy of proven problem solving techniques that help us think collaboratively to renovate current products and innovate new products. Ours is a custom approach. We stay focused on your overall operating efficiency and your business model–not simply on the individual process problem in question. Product quality and speed of assembly, combined with long-term durability, reliability and collaborative support, are embedded in our design solutions that protect your competitive edge.

The result is product after product working systematically to cut effort, time, and expense from your manufacturing.
