CTO/Founder Michel Masson is a pioneer in underwater gas sensors, receiving in 2002 the Schmidt-Röhmhild Technology Award for the first practical underwater methane sensor. Since then Franatech has broken ground regularly, e.g. with the first underwater gas sensor based on Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometry, leading as early as 2008 to first users publications. Franatech products have been sold in 25 countries, and have been cited in more than 35 users scientific papers.
