Groundbreaking of Future Eastern Controls Headquarters

EDGEMONT, PA – Eastern Controls, Inc. and its manufacturing partner, Endress+Hauser, celebrate the groundbreaking for a new 88,437-square-foot facility in Edgemont, PA, just a short distance from the current headquarters building. The new facility will serve as the new headquarters for Eastern Controls and become Endress+Hauser’s Northeast Regional Center, ultimately allowing both partners to serve the region’s process measurement and control equipment needs.

“We are incredibly excited for the opportunity to expand our presence and brand in the northeast alongside our valued sales and service representative partner, Eastern Controls, Inc.,” said Todd Lucey, General Manager, Endress+Hauser USA. “Not only is this a monumental milestone for Eastern Controls, but it’s a feather in the cap for Endress+Hauser as we continue expanding every opportunity to serve our customers and the communities where we live, work and play.”

The new facility will house employees from Eastern Controls and Endress+Hauser. It will also allow the companies to meet the persistent product and service needs of customers in the Life Sciences, Chemicals, Water/Wastewater, Food & Beverage, Power & Energy, Oil & Gas, Mining, Minerals & Metals, and Pulp & Paper.

Holistically, Eastern Controls and Endress+Hauser partner to bring everything from high-quality control valves, instrumentation, and safety equipment to comprehensive service solutions and workforce development.

“This is a substantial milestone in our 55-year history,” said Cliff McLaughlin, Jr., President, Eastern Controls, Inc. “On top of offering top-of-the-line products and services, we will continue to offer and expand on various STEM and workforce development-related opportunities. We look forward to many more years of partnering with Endress+Hauser and supporting industry in the northeast.”

The new campus will be home to an expanded and upgraded PTU® (Process Training Unit) and Innovation Center.

The PTU® is a state-of-the-art, full-functioning process automation facility with the latest field instruments and controls. It offers engineers, technicians, operators, and students the opportunity to receive in-depth hands-on training in instrumentation, gas detection, control valves and actuation, and heat trace. Customers can interact with devices and technologies before making large plant investments and without the worry of process interruption.

Additionally, the new facility will be the home to the northeast Community Career+Education Forum (CCEF) annual event, an experience tailored to the future of STEM. CCEF connects students, parents, educators, counselors, and industry professionals to raise awareness and provide information about technical careers and opportunities.

The project will be completed in collaboration with Genesis Property Development, Stantec, Vanderweil Engineering, DCI Engineering, Re:Vision, PSG Energy Group, Linn Architects, Rundell Ernstberger Associates, Traffic Planning and Design, and The Norwood Company. Construction of the Philadelphia-area facility is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
