Control Chief Celebrates 40th Anniversary

Control Chief Corp., Bradford, Pa., is announcing the year-long celebration of its 40th anniversary. The company will be celebrating its milestone throughout 2011 with special events planned for the staff, industry, and sales channel partners, plus it will hold a company open house and dedication ceremony in June.

Control Chief began operations in 1971 with eight people. Today, the company has nearly 50 employees. As a recognized leader in wireless solutions, Control Chief Corporation continues to mature and develop new technology for improving on the job performance. Safety, flexibility, and efficiency are the core principles that encompass Control Chief products.

“For 40 years, our system features have ranged from simple off-the-shelf solutions to custom-engineered designs. This myriad of markets includes steel, mining, aggregate, aircraft assembly, shipbuilding, grain handling and nuclear facilities,” says Brian Landries, vice president of sales and marketing.

In conjunction with its 40th anniversary, Control Chief is sponsoring an “Oldest System in Operation” contest. The company is asking its customers that have had decades of success with their products to submit the serial number of their oldest working system. These submissions will be eligible for inspection and a possible prize of up to $5,000 in Control Chief bucks. The contest ends May 31, 2011. The contest winner will be announced at the 40th anniversary celebration to be held at the corporate headquarters on June 24, 2011.
