RoviSys Opens Northeast Support and Sales Office in Massachusetts

AURORA, Ohio, Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The RoviSys Company has signed a lease for a 5,100 square foot sales and engineering office in Marlborough, Mass., to serve a growing client base in the northeastern United States. Initial staffing is expected to be 15 people, most local hires with control system engineering and information software backgrounds.

One of the largest independent manufacturing automation and information systems integrators in North America, RoviSys serves clients in a number of industries. Growth in New England has been driven by the company's life sciences automation expertise.

"We establish offices where we have a base of existing business and can predict growth with confidence," said Chris Phillips, newly appointed northeast regional manager for RoviSys. "Boston and New England easily meet these requirements."

While the privately held company does not disclose sales figures, Phillips said RoviSys is having a record year. Boston joins Apex, N.C., Aurora, Ohio and Singapore as office and engineering locations. The company has more than 240 employees and has added staff in all locations this year.

Services include manufacturing control, information integration, industrial energy management, building automation and legacy migration for life sciences, chemical, glass, power, oil and gas and other process industries.

Northeast Sales Manager Peter Fox and project engineering staff have been working out of a temporary office in Cambridge since March.

While RoviSys staff successfully implements projects in many areas of North America and the world far from its current offices, Phillips said a regional presence reinforces the company's commitment to providing responsive services and support.

Phillips also said RoviSys is growing in non-manufacturing segments like building automation and data center energy monitoring where clients benefit from using standards-based, powerful and flexible industrial control and information systems in their environments.  

Phillips has been with RoviSys since 1995 and will be responsible for all aspects of operations in the northeast. He joined the company in 1995 and has led many major projects for the company's life sciences clients. He is a certified professional engineer for control systems and graduated from Penn State Behrend with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering technology. He has also earned an associate of science degree in biomedical equipment technology.

Prior to pursuing an engineering degree, he was a nuclear reactor operator in the US nuclear submarine fleet.

The Northeast Office is at 377 Simarano Drive, Suite 100, in Marlborough.
