United Electric Controls (UE), the innovators in threshold detection and switching products, including pressure and temperature switches and sensors, announces the acquisition of Trans Metrics, based near Cleveland, Ohio.

According to United Electric Controls CEO and President, David Reis, the Trans Metrics acquisition represents a key strategic move. "Trans Metrics helps us to further expand our product line providing a complete range of reliable pressure management solutions to meet the changing needs of our growing, global customer base," Reis said. Since 1975, Trans Metrics has supplied both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and end-users with cost-effective and rugged pressure transducers and transmitters. Designed to handle harsh conditions and extremes in overpressure, cycling rates, process temperatures and vibration, these instruments fit well with UE's traditional direction - supporting customers with innovative products that offer exceptional performance in severe environments and critical applications.

United Electric Controls' customers include major energy and chemical producers, such as hydrocarbon processing plants, energy and power generation plants, pharmaceutical, food and beverage processors, as well as water treatment facilities and OEMs throughout the world.

Established in 1931, United Electric maintains corporate headquarters in Watertown, Massachusetts, USA, and direct offices throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, India and Malaysia. UE also maintains worldwide distribution. Trans Metrics joins the growing group of UE companies and will continue operations at its current location in Solon, Ohio.
