The company is particularly known for its wood props, but also has produced fixed-pitch metal props since 1948, and in recent years expanded to adjustable-pitch carbon-fiber composite propellers. Throughout the mid-20th century, Sensenich wood props were available on nearly all 1-seat and 2-seat U.S.-made aircraft, many of which still operate today. Wood prop manufacturing is now handled in their [[Florida]]-based facility.<ref name="sensenich_si_edu">[https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/propeller-fixed-pitch-sensenich-brothers/nasm_A19711217000 "Propeller, Fixed-pitch, Sensenich Brothers,"], [[National Air and Space Museum]], [[Smithsonian Institution]], retrieved August 19, 2023</ref><ref name="about_sensenich">[https://www.sensenich.com/company/ "About Sensenich Propeller Company"] (official company history), [[Sensenich Propeller]], retrieved August 19, 2023</ref><ref name="sensenich_bydanjohnson">Johnson, Dan: [https://bydanjohnson.com/sponsors/sensenich-propeller/ "Sensenich Propeller,"] ByDanJohnson.com (principal ultralight / light-sport aircraft journalist), retrieved August 19, 2023</ref> Rock Lititz, a company specializing in rock concert production, is headquartered and has a show production stage in Lititz.
