  • Manchester-Nashua, NH (1888PressRelease) March 23, 2013 - Tier1Automation, a nationally franchised distributor, targeting benchmark efficiency for delivering basic electrical controls, is now open for business online at www.tier1automation.com. "Benchmark efficiency" is producing, on average, a minimum of 20% savings in on-going controls costs for its clients.

    Tier1Automation.com's mission is to make available to its customers world-class values in basic automation products such as switches, relays, power supplies, motor controls, circuit protection and enclosures. The Company defines "world-class values" as: top-tier quality components, at the lowest prices online, and wrapped in remarkable service.

    The Company ships internationally.

    Industry Trend
    In today's era of hyper - competitiveness, OEM's as well as users are regularly value engineering their equipment for optimum economic performance. Accordingly, controls engineers and buyers are increasingly re-evaluating their traditional modes of controls specifications and sourcing, to dramatically reduce their costs. Switching to sourcing and buying controls directly online has been a clear and effective means to that end.

    Principal Suppliers
    Tier1Automation regularly screens for products and potential suppliers with quality brand name recognition and approaches to pricing consistent with the Company's strategy. Current partners feature two companies with long histories in electric motors and controls: Altech Corporation and WEG Electric Corporation.

    Altech
    Altech is a long established and respected U.S. supplier of primarily German-made components and devices used in industrial control, instrumentation and automation applications. From its inception more than twenty years ago, Altech has quietly and consistently been supplying high quality products, providing superior service, and building strong partnerships. The company started out sourcing hard to find replacement parts for European manufacturing, automation and material handling equipment, but after recognizing the broader demand for control components, changed its strategy and became a broad, multi-line supplier. Altech is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

    WEG Electric Corp.
    With its main plants in Brazil, one of the fastest growing players in the global economy, WEG is an independent international company exporting to more than 100 countries, employing more than 22,000 people and manufacturing in 5 production units around the world with annual group sales of about $3.0 billion.

    Founded in 1961, the Company has been selling in the United States since 1977. WEG is similar in scale and complexity to Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) whose revenue for their fiscal year 2012 was about $6.0 billion.
    WEG Electric Corp. imports product from WEG plants in Brazil and Mexico for sale throughout the United States. U.S. Customers are served nationwide by WEG's 6 Regional Distribution Centers located in Chicago, IL; Duluth, GA; Harrisburg, PA; Houston, TX; Ontario, CA; and Portland, OR.

    WEG is known for its global sales and service capabilities which allow it to provide custom solutions all over the world. With a full range of IEC/NEMA Global Certifications and a full-line of low, medium, and high voltage motors, WEG and Tier1Automation can supply the right motor and controls for customer needs anywhere in the world. All of WEG's divisions are certified to ISO 9001:2008.
