2008 is a special year - our 30th Anniversary of proudly serving our customers' automation needs! The late Gordon Cates founded our company in 1978 in Houston, Texas and since then we’ve expanded to three Texas locations serving customers throughout the U.S. and in a number of foreign countries. Sadly, Gordon is no longer with us - but his legacy lives on in our company motto and culture.
