Wachendorff Automation and Encoder Products Company (EPC) have announced a new partnership. The aim of the collaboration is to further improve the availability and integration of high-quality motion feedback solutions in North America and to provide even more targeted support to local customers.
Combining strengths for modern automation
As part of the partnership, Wachendorff Automation provides its comprehensive range of absolute encoders. These are characterised by high precision, robust construction and modern communication interfaces that are specifically designed for demanding industrial applications - from compact machine designs to harsh operating environments.
Encoder Products Company is integrating these solutions into its existing range and complementing them with its strong customer focus, application expertise and engineering capabilities in the USA.
By combining both companies’ expertise, customers benefit from improved availability, shorter response times and tailored solutions. OEMs, system integrators and end users gain enhanced access to absolute encoder technologies, supported by an established sales and service network. At the same time, EPC is expanding its portfolio with innovative absolute encoder solutions that are particularly in demand where precise position determination, reliability and network capability are essential.
A common focus on practical solutions
Both companies share a clear mission: to provide state-of-the-art, yet practical solutions for industrial automation. These include:
- Absolute encoders for precise position and motion data
- Solutions for networked systems and modern communication protocols
- Robust sensor technology for demanding environmental conditions
The partnership enables both companies to address these requirements even more effectively and to support customers throughout the entire value chain.
An important step towards future growth
The partnership marks a significant step for both companies. By combining their respective strengths, Wachendorff Automation and EPC are laying the foundations for an expanded range of solutions that meets the growing demands of the automation industry.
