Check out our fun, new video featuring our five-decade journey to see what products started it all and how far technology has come.
What's important to you in an industrial automation supplier? We often hear about reliability, innovation, and long-term support being at the top of that list. Rest assured, Opto 22's product philosophy incorporates all those ideals.
You can feel secure in your product designs and confident in a manufacturer who is here to help support and achieve all your long-term project goals.
Whether you’re looking for a product to take you to the next level of control and data communications, want a reliable automation system proven over many years, or just need another SSR to accompany that dusty, guaranteed-for-life one in some dark enclosure, Opto 22 is the place to come.
This new video is a fun look back on how we got here. Please join us in celebrating 50 years of our company and product philosophy. We're glad you're along for the ride.
In 1974, engineer Bob Engman started Opto 22 with just 22 products: optically isolated solid-state relays (SSRs) manufactured for better reliability using a new potting process he helped invent.
Today, 50 years later, the company still sells and supports all 22 of those original SSRs—plus hundreds of other reliable products for control, monitoring, data acquisition, and industrial internet of things (IIoT) applications.
Over these decades, we’ve introduced products that helped usher in the future of industrial automation. We hope you're as excited as we are about what's to come! You're invited to stay on this cutting-edge journey with us.
Perhaps the best way to convey our appreciation for the last 50 years is through the words of Opto 22 President and CEO Mark Engman. You'll want to read his heartfelt message.
Remember, our engineering, customer service, and sales teams are here to help and offer free support! Contact us today with your application questions or start a live OptoChat. As our tagline states, we truly want to be Your Edge in Automation.
Cheers to 50 years, and thanks for celebrating with us!
