Peratech

The company serves a wide range of markets, including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, robotics, and medical devices. Its technology has been integrated into over one million products, from smartphones and gaming peripherals to power tools and NASA robotics. Peratech's business model involves providing custom design and integration services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), helping them incorporate force-sensing capabilities into their products to create more intuitive and engaging user experiences. A key application is the 'smart surface,' where controls are embedded directly into the chassis of a device, eliminating the need for physical buttons and improving durability and moisture resistance. Recent developments focus on combining their force sensors with AI-based software, like their Hydra® user interface, to enhance functionality in PC gaming and creative applications.

Peratech is a privately held company that has secured significant investment to fund its expansion. Notably, it closed a $31.5 million funding round in September 2024 to accelerate growth in the personal computing and automotive sectors. The company has received multiple awards for its innovations, including a British Engineering Excellence Award (BEEA).
