Economy Power & Instrument, Inc. was formed and established in
1970 by Jerry Moss and Lee Lewis. The business was a break away from
Economy Equipment Co. Much of the same type of representative sales and
marketing were performed and established back then that is still done
today. Jerry and Lee hit the road running when they started the
business and instrumentation primarily focused for the boiler room and
power industries.
Although there are many similarities in
how the business was run originally and how we operate today, there are
some major differences in the focus of our business today. Instrumentation has exhibited numerous new developments, and we have
expanded considerably by the areas in which EPI works in. With the
rapid advancements in the world of control instrumentation, and the
event of the microprocessor and personal computer age the complexion of
the business has evolved. With those developments EPI has adjusted to
these changes and offers a complete array of "Smart" instrumentation
and computer compatible equipment. In fact Fieldbus and Profibus
products offer the latest in digital field communications which we will
see more of in the near and distant future of instrumentation and
controls, we offer both buses now on some products.
Economy
Power & Instrument strives to work initially with the Engineering
and Technical personnel with the information, specifications and
support they require. Then typically follow-up support is the next step
in the project process and an integral part of the instrument
selection. This support usually entails literature and submittal
documentation and then operations manuals for the equipment operator or
technicians.
We do carry some equipment in stock and on the
shelf, but much of the equipment comes under the heading of "engineered
products", which are built for the individual order. Often times in
fact the products may require special features or performance
characteristics. This is normally not a problem when the manufacturer
agrees to the special construction features or requirements.
Our
specialty is to be a "solutions provider" that will assist in the
instrumentation, selection, specification, and application process. If
you are having a problem with a control application requiring flow
measurement, level control, temperature control or the data acquisition
or control room instruments, we want to help assist with your specific
need.
