OUR STORY

Pioneers in Industrial Automation Since 1991

ECN Automation was founded in 1991 during a period of disruptive change in automation technology. Just as the launch of the IBM PC in the early 80s changed the way we do business, automation technology in that same decade was energized by compact PLCs, process screens, variable speed drives, and smart instrumentation.

We are pioneers in the systems integrator market of the early 90s, accumulating more than 30 years of experience and a track record in process efficiency and optimization with over 2,000 projects executed in different industries and countries.
