Red Lion Panel Meters Win Control Design 2014 Readers' Choice Award for 14th Consecutive Year

YORK, Pa., Sept. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Lion Controls, the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking, has once again been honored for its versatile, high-quality panel meters by Control Design Readers' Choice Awards 2014. This is the 14th consecutive year that readers of Control Design – key decision-makers within manufacturing facilities that produce a broad range of products, including turbines, conveyors, machine tools, food processing equipment and more – have voted for Red Lion as the top provider of panel meters in the industry.

"Being consistently recognized by the readership of Control Design underscores our commitment to offering the most reliable panel meters in the industry," said Jesse Benefiel, vice president of product management at Red Lion Controls. "Our industrial automation and networking products have earned the trust and approval of our customers worldwide, and we strive to continue delivering leading technology and responsive technical service to best meet their requirements."

Control Design sent questionnaires to approximately 15,000 magazine subscribers who work directly with industrial automation and control products. The questionnaire included an unaided ballot in which participants were asked to identify the vendors that came to mind in response to the questions. Respondents selected Red Lion's name from memory or experience, not from multiple-choice questions, further validating the company's products and services. Only companies that received at least five percent of the category vote were recognized. Since the survey began 2001, Red Lion has consistently dominated the panel meter category.

"Our Readers' Choice Awards balloting puts the decision-making where it rightly belongs: in the capable hands of Control Design technology users," says Joe Feeley, editor-in-chief of Control Design. "We ask participants to name the company that provides them the best controls and automation technology value, based on their own user experiences.  Clearly our audience sees great value in the panel meter products and service that Red Lion Controls supplies."

With almost 4 million panel meters sold since the company's inception, Red Lion's range of digital and analog input meters is the most comprehensive in the industry. Red Lion panel meters easily accommodate a wide range of applications through varying models, inputs, sizes and other capabilities. From compact CUB indicators to versatile PAX process meters, Red Lion provides flexibility that allows customers to seamlessly add or change capabilities with plug-and-play field installable option cards.
