For the 15th Straight Year Red Lion Named the Industry Leader Panel Meter Supplier
September 22, 2015
Red Lion Controls has been awarded the number one provider in panel meters by consumers. What makes this accomplishment even more significant is that it marks the 15th straight year that Red Lion was voted, by consumers, as the top brand provided on the market. In addition to the top panel meter spot Red Lion brought home seven other awards, giving them nine in total for the year.
The survey was conducted by Control Design, who sent out 15,000 questionnaires, to readers who work directly with industrial automation and control parts, recently named the Red Lion as the most trusted brand on the market. It is important to note that the questionnaire asked the participants to name the companies they thought of first for each category. A list of answers was not provided for them to choose from meaning that the reader selected Red Lion from memory.
The importance of the survey was to find out the most recognizable company as well as which one provided the best quality. It’s no coincidence that Red Lion has owned the top slot in the panel meter category since the survey began in 2001.
Mike Bacidore, the editor-in-chief of Control Design magazine was recently quoted in an interview saying, "Each year we ask Control Design's readers, practicing machine automation professionals, to share with us their supplier preferences in a variety of technology categories. Red Lion's consistent ranking atop the Panel Meter category is a clear indication of its technology leadership and customer commitment."
Panel meters are not the only section of the survey that Red Lion was voted as the industry standard. Take a look at the seven other areas in which they were ranked as number one.
- Wired Network Components
- Wireless Network Components
- Network Routers and Switches
- Network Protocol Converters/Bridges/Adapters
