37 Years of Tradition in the
Automation Industry
 In the Automation industry, you know us as the designers and manufacturers of the EZTouch and EZText products.
What perhaps some of you may not know, is the history of two of our other divisions in this business,
Autotech Controls and
Uticor Technologies.

Uticor - Established 1968
Uticor, formerly Struthers Dunn Systems division, has been in the forefront of PLC, welding controls, message displays and operator interface technology since 1968.
Uticor, in fact, was one of the early inventors of PLCs back in 1968. It held numerous patents on PLCs.
In the 1970’s, Uticor applied it’s PLC technology to welding controls and became one of the top suppliers of this technology to the Automotive industry. In fact, Uticor provided university research grants in collaboration with Ford in this area.
In the 1980’s, Uticor became known as the premier supplier of Message Displays and Marquees in North America. It’s large LED marquees became an Automotive standard. Uticor always had a very conservative design philosophy and it sho wed in its products and thus earned worldwide recognition as “Uticor Tough”.
Autotech - Established 1975
 AVG’s Autotech division was the inventor of the first microprocessor based Programmable Limit Switch. In fact Autotech was the first company to coin the phrase “PLS” for replacing electro-mechanical cam-banks. Autotech has always lived by its tradition of being the most innovative company in the field of Automation controls.
