Auburn Hills, MI & Bedford, NH September 30, 2014

Patti Engineering, Inc., a leader in control systems integration, today announced it will expand its collaboration with McClellan Automation Systems, a company that designs and builds custom production automation manufacturing equipment. McClellan Automation Systems, based in Bedford, NH is an advanced manufacturing systems company that designs and builds custom production automation equipment.

On the heels of utilizing Patti Engineering for the first time to successfully complete a large contract for a major U.S. manufacturer, McClellan Automation Systems will continue to collaborate with Patti Engineering as an expert control systems integration resource. It became apparent during the execution of this project, that the companies combined areas of expertise are highly complementary and can be leveraged to create new business opportunities moving forward.

Earlier this month McClellan Automation Systems was named Business NH Magazines fastest growing private company for 2013. From 2010 to 2013, McClellan Automation Systems grew by 1,750%, thanks in part to diversification from the companys roots in the medical device manufacturing industry to the consumer products and life science industries.

McClellan Automation Systems first learned about Patti Engineering when the company needed additional Mitsubishi automation experts to assist with a project building complex machine lines requiring high-precision programming of Mitsubishi robots and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Gibson Engineering, New Englands Mitsubishi supplier, recommended Patti Engineering, for the additional engineering support. Patti Engineering is a Mitsubishi Authorized Integrator, with exceptional expertise in Mitsubishis automation platform - a rare skill set among U.S. control system integrators. Patti Engineering provided five expert engineers over a five month period to assist with completion of the project.

"The complexity of this project required engineers with years of experience designing intricate machine lines. The size of this project required more manpower than we could provide on short notice, so we contracted Patti Engineering to extend our team," said McClellans Chief Executive Officer, Ray Ritter. "Working with Patti Engineering has been a seamless process. Our expertise and capabilities go hand in hand and we are looking forward to completing many more challenging and rewarding projects together in the future."

Michigan based Patti Engineering maintains a satellite office near Boston, MA and has been building a presence in the New England region. Patti Engineering is a CSIA Certified control system integrator offering high-caliber engineering and software development services in the fields of industrial automation and shop floor IT solutions.
