Andover Controls
Even though Andover Controls operated independently for a long time, it later became a part of TAC, which is the industry's most innovative and fastest growing building automation company, as well as the leader in open integrated solutions for a variety of facilities.
Company History
Andover Controls was founded in 1975 and it has since been able to install over 100,000 facility management systems all over the world in a vast array of applications that include manufacturing sites, hospitals, correctional facilities, sports arenas, retail locations, offices, and just about any other type of facility, regardless of size.
Also, since the time that Andover Controls was founded as the manufacturer of Sunkeeper, which is a programmable building control system, it has been able to create dozens of other innovations within the dynamic controls industry. It was the first company to start promoting direct digital control, and it was also the first business to offer a fully user-programmable line of products.
In the 1980s, Andover Controls was the first company to work on the idea of Direct Digital Control, also referred to as DDC. This technology was geared towards the automation of building equipment systems with its second generation of offerings, known as the AC256 system.
By the 1990s, Andover Controls had introduced an Ethernet-based third generation of products known as Infinity, along with the first controller-based web server.
In 2004, TAC was acquired by Schneider Electric, which is the global leading specialist in the field of power and control. Also, TAC and TAC AB of Sweden combined and created a foundation for Schneider Electric to grow in the building automation industry. Therefore, TAC and Andover Controls have been able to add value through a variety of building services that include security, use of energy, and indoor climate control, all delivered using advanced technology and solutions.
A Global Presence
Andover Controls has technical centres that are located all over the world. You will find TAC in the UK, the US, France, Germany, Poland, Hong Kong, and Mexico. This allows for great customer service, as well as technical, project engineering, and training support that allows customers to manage building systems on their own with ease.
All of the manufacturing that's performed by Andover Controls is completed on-site within the company's factory headquarters, which are located in North Andover, Massachusetts in the United States.
All of the products that are sold by the company are manufactured to the highest standards for internationally recognised quality. They're also 100% tested before they're shipped out, so customers can rest assured that they're getting high quality products that will work.
A Leading Manufacturer of "Smart Building" Systems
Andover Control's mission statement is to work tirelessly for customers while providing the most powerful, flexible, and innovative products that will ensure buildings will remain comfortable, efficient, and secure. Through hard work and innovation, as well as a clear strategy, the company has been able to do just that, which is why it has become one of the leading manufacturers in the world of "Smart Building" systems.
