Heritage | A trusted innovator in traffic enforcement
We are proud of our long-standing heritage as a trusted innovator
Our heritage
Gatso was founded in 1958 by former racing driver Maurice Gatsonides; sports enthusiast, rally champion and entrepreneur. He invented the first speed camera to measure track speeds, along with lap and finish times and quickly realized he could also use this technology to improve road safety.
He introduced the world’s first speed measuring device and the first speed camera, the Gatsometer, in 1964 and the Gatso company was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
Sensys was founded in 1982 as a development company. The company expanded in 1987 when the Swedish police requested technology that could meet stringent requirements. Sensys won the procurement process, and they have been supplying systems to the Swedish Transport Administration ever since. Sensys changed its strategy in 2001 by accelerating development and began selling systems outside Sweden.
Sensys acquired Gatso in 2015, creating Sensys Gatso Group. Sensys Gatso Group is now the leading global provider of traffic safety solutions delivering systems, software and services primarily for automated traffic enforcement.
