The Senseven team

“If you can dream it, you can do it”.

Walt Disney

How it started

Senseven was founded in 2021. The company supports customers worldwide out of their office in Vienna, Austria across all industries: from oil and gas, to chemicals and petrochemicals to food&beverage, pulp and paper and many more.

What does Senseven stand for?

The name is composed of “sense” - detect and “seven” - the 7th sense for industrial plants, which we enable our customers with our solutions.
