The unit also includes various other manufacturers ECI represents, such as Mine Safety Appliance (MSA), Masoneilan, O’Brien, Turck, and PBM.
Over the past few months, the service center at Eastern Controls’ headquarters located in Edgemont underwent a “facelift.” Computer systems have been updated, work areas have been redesigned, and most importantly, the construction of the Process Training Unit (PTU) received from Endress+Hauser was completed.
