Beaverton, Oregon, based Olympus Controls Corp. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Texonics Inc. located in Denton, Texas. This new partnership will deliver a unique value proposition to the Gulf Region’s diverse machine automation marketplace. In 2009, upon the request of several of our top suppliers, Olympus Controls began expanding outside of the Pacific Northwest market into the Gulf Region market.

Our supplier’s vision was to have Olympus Controls replicate our unique company culture and industry-leading best business practices into the fastest growing market area in the United States.

Just in case you have noticed we have recently changed our name from Olympic Controls to Olympus Controls.

Believe it or not, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) demanded that we change our name. Because of our Northwest roots we choose the name Olympic to affiliate ourselves with the formidable mountain range located in our backyard. But, apparently the USOC determined we were in violation of the Olympic Armature Sports Act, 36 U.S.C and Lahham Act, 15 U.S.C and requested that we drop the word Olympic in our company name. They even threatened civil action against us unless complied with their demands.

After spending more money that what we considered reasonable we came to the conclusion that spending additional time and resources to fight this was unwarranted. To minimize the impact on name equity and brand awareness that we had developed for almost 10 years we decided to change the company name from Olympic Controls to Olympus Controls.

Don't worry, even though it is a new name there are the same people standing behind the company. As always, we are committed to exceeding your expectations when it comes to machine automation products and services.

Machine automation is a highly fragmented, dynamic field in which alternatives to the status quo emerge constantly. A key to our role as an automation systems solutions provider is maintaining a strategic portfolio of products, which enables us to offer our customers dependable, far sighted, and forward-compatible solutions.

Because we are their link to the significant customer base, the top manufacturers in the industry are eager to keep us abreast of product and technology developments long before they become widely known. This intellectual network guarantees that we can offer products with features sets and performance advantages that no other single company is capable of matching.

This is why Olympus Controls is the first company our customers call when they are working on a new machine automation application. They know they can concentrate on their core competencies and rely on us to apply the most up-to-date technologies in order to ensure their competitive advantage well in the future.

It takes more than good products to effectively solve an application; it takes good engineers. Olympus Controls understands the importance of having qualified engineers assisting you in the design and implementation of machine automation products. That is why all of our Automation Engineers are seasoned professionals with engineering degrees and considerable experience in the automation industry.

Collectively, we offer more than sixty years of experience in developing applications and systems for industrial automation. Many of our staff members have worked more than ten years with leading-edge manufacturers. Others come from the industries that we service, including semiconductor, packaging and forest products.

Because we specialize in the field of machine automation, we offer a tremendous amount of insight and practical experience to each project in relation to both our products and our understanding of industry processes. Our engineers serve as consultants and valued business partners to our customers. They become virtually part of your staff at no additional cost-a dedicated team of control experts who research, design, and implement the right system for you.

Our engineers are knowledgeable about your industry-specific needs; they speak your language and can articulate how our product lines can solve your challenging application better than any other company.
