Industrial Automation Supply

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Remember, our offices will be closed until Monday morning, so please have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.

It's getting to the holidays, and that means it's time to bust out the ugly sweaters again! This year we begin with our great friends at ReeR Safety: since 1959 ReeR has been creating and distributing for industry, lighting and home automation. By the mid-70’s the first safety sensors were developed, and afterwards the first light curtains were produced. Today ReeR is both the Italian leading company and one of the main world manufacturers of optoelectronic sensors for industrial safety.

The holidays are fast approaching, and we want to keep you in the loop! We'll be open for normal business Monday thru Wednesday 11/25-11/27, then closed Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. We'll see you back in the office on Monday, December 2!
