News: Metis Appoints Miken as Global Distribution Partner

A new global distribution agreement gives defence, aerospace, and industrial customers direct access to the full Metis sensor range.

Metis Engineering is pleased to announce a new global distribution partnership with Miken Electronics Worldwide Ltd, a move that extends the reach of our full sensor portfolio into defence, aerospace, and industrial markets around the world through Miken’s established international supply chain and ISO 9001:2015 certified fulfilment network.

Why This Partnership Matters

Under the agreement, Miken Electronics Worldwide becomes a global distributor for the entire Metis Engineering product range, including our Cell Guard battery safety sensor, H Guard hydrogen sensor, Air Wise air quality monitor, Analogue to Digital CAN Module, 8 Channel Isolated Thermocouple, GPS CAN sensor, and our full suite of R&D development tools and connection kits.

For customers in defence and aerospace particularly, this opens a route to procurement that meets the rigorous compliance and traceability standards those sectors demand. Headquartered in West Sussex, Miken Electronics Worldwide is approved to ISO 9001:2015, holds NATO codified component capability, and operates in full compliance with international export controls, giving defence and aerospace buyers the supply chain assurance they require alongside Metis Engineering’s own sensing technology.

Extending Battery Safety into New Sectors

Cell Guard, our flagship product, has now achieved more than 500 deployments across electric vehicle, energy storage, and industrial applications, detecting the early warning signatures of thermal runaway, including pressure, volatile organic compounds, moisture, dew point, hydrogen, and shock, before a critical event occurs. As electrification extends further into defence platforms, uncrewed aerial vehicles, and next-generation aerospace programmes, the ability to monitor battery health and detect hydrogen and air quality anomalies in real time is becoming increasingly relevant to applications ranging from electrified ground vehicles to naval systems.

What Our Leadership Had to Say

“As electrification extends into defence platforms, UAVs, and aerospace programmes, the need for reliable, real-time battery safety monitoring has never been greater. Partnering with Miken gives us a trusted route into these markets, backed by a distributor that understands the compliance and traceability requirements of the sectors we are now targeting. We are delighted to be working with Andy and the team.”  Joe Holdsworth, Founder and CEO, Metis Engineering

“When we add a manufacturer to our portfolio, quality credentials and supply chain integrity are non-negotiable. Metis Engineering’s ISO 9001 certification and their track record across hundreds of deployments gave us full confidence. We see strong demand for their products across our defence, aerospace, and industrial customers, and we are very pleased to be representing them worldwide.”  Andy Gale, CEO, Miken Electronics Worldwide
