Editor's Notes

• #3: Our Vision Greystone’s vision is to design and manufacture a wide range of high quality sensing measurement and transmittal of data products related to temperature, humidity, pressure, current, air quality and hazardous gases. This vision is realized through our dedication to rigid adherence to quality standards, efficient service provided to our customers, the genuine pride we take in our work and our continued quest to advance the state of our industry through research and development.
• #4: Greystone Energy Systems Inc. was established in 1983. Prior to this time our owner was employed as a regional manager of small building automation system company. It was during this time that he saw a market need for peripheral products to measure parameters such as temperature and humidity levels as the choices of product were very limited due the industry being in its infancy. Greystone was started and he hired his first employee to assist in the design and manufacture of a line of temperature sensors. During this time they worked from the basement of his home. Over the next few years sales grew and so did Greystone. Adding more employees and design engineers to develop more products. Today Greystone employs approximately 65 people in 4 locations.
• #5: Our head office and factory is located in Moncton, NB Canada. Although Moncton is a small city (est Pop. 150,000) on the east coast of Canada we have many advantages from being located here. People in the area are very loyal and it shows in the fact that many of our employees have been with us for 10+ years. Moncton has 2 universities and 2 technical colleges which provide a vast pool of talented people as well as many more in the vicinty. Moncton is the Atlantic hub for many companies and therefore courier companies like UPS, Fed-X and Purolator use Moncton as their hub as well. Moncton is also a short distance away from major air and sea cargo ports which allows for decreased shipment times.
• #6: To further assist our customers worldwide, Greystone has set up 3 satellite sales offices. At this time there are 2 in the United States and 1 in Singapore. In addition to these offices we many distributors worldwide.

BTL - Greystone designed and manufactures a line of Carbon Dioxide/Temperature/Humidity transducers (CDD3 Series) that utilize the BACnet® communication protocol. This line has been tested and approved by BTL, listed on their approved product listing and have been approved to carry the BTL logo.
