Get to know your local partner
Eastern Controls, Inc. (ECI) was founded early in 1969 by three gentlemen, Cliff McLaughlin, Sr., John Bravacos and Richard “Dick” Bright. They teamed up after working extensively with well-known valve and instrumentation manufacturers in the Northeast region of the United States. Operations quickly moved to the Philadelphia region, where operations continue to thrive and grow in Edgemont, PA!
Eastern Controls’ reputation was built on strong relationships and exceptional customer service and remains committed to delivering top-tier sales and service solutions for various industries and customers’ process needs.

What do you enjoy most about being a partner with Endress+Hauser?
“The question almost answers itself with the use of the word partner. It’s less like the typical manufacturer/representative relationship and more like a true partnership. Two companies working together to showcase their strengths and achieve a common goal.”
