We have completed over 150,000 repairs for over 10,000 customers. This exposure to a magnitude of electronics makes us one of the most trusted industrial electronics control repair centers in the world. Our technician and engineering teams have on average, 30+ years of expert experience. We are uniquely qualified to handle almost any type of industrial electronic control failure.

Over the years, we have collected and maintained thousands of pages of equipment documentation, drawings, users’ manuals and equipment diagrams that allow us to more efficiently repair items that our competitors cannot. We also maintain a raw material inventory of over 30,000 pieces.  Since 84% of our repairs do not require ordering parts because of our inventory, we can turn repairs around faster and more reliably, ensuring our customer’s equipment is up and running as fast as possible.

In addition to repairs, we also sell used and refurbished controls. These can be found on our website, but if you don’t see what you are looking for, call us and we will help you find it! Our procurement specialists are experts at locating obsolete equipment and parts.

We are privately owned by two Electrical Engineers, Ed Bialek and Gary Fredricks that have combined almost 70 years of experience with various electronics. Their background encompasses multiple industries ranging from Defense, Bio-Medical , Electronic Distribution, Mining , RF & Microwave, Power Electronics and Consumer Electronics. Their attention to detail and commitment to building relations with their customers is unparalleled in the repair industry.
