Englewood, CO and Bothell, WA (October 1, 2021) – Today Applied Control and PCE Pacific announced an agreement to merge the two companies. As Emerson Impact Partners in the western United States, the new combined organization will further enhance their ability to provide consistent, reliable support for customers across the West.
“The quality of the teams at PCE Pacific and Applied Control were outstanding with both organizations operating as stand-alone companies. Combining our industry expertise, technical application knowledge, local service/inventory, and passion for exceptional customer experiences will stand to benefit the industrial automation market across the West,” said Tad Cahill, President of Applied Control. “As a result of this merger, our customers will immediately gain access to enhanced inventory, fabrication, field service and application depth across all of our products and served industries. Together, Applied Control and PCE Pacific now have the ability to support our customers in a way that was not previously possible across The Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska.”
The new service coverage area includes multiple sales and support centers across the Rocky Mountain and Northwest regions: Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Alaska, Nevada, Nebraska and South Dakota.
“Throughout my career, I have always believed that I had an obligation to act in the best interest of PCE and our team members, our customers, and our business partners. In making the decision to merge with Applied Control, I am absolutely convinced that all three of those obligations are being met and advanced,” said PCE Pacific President, Lon Carlson. Carlson will be retiring from the organization in Spring 2022 and joining the Applied Control Advisory Board.
The only immediate change for customers at this time pertains to PCE Pacific’s supplier information. Customers doing business with PCE Pacific need to update PCE Pacific supplier information to Applied Control’s W-9, which will be sent to affected customers.
