Since 1970 Centro www.CentroSolves.com has created manufacturing solutions for facilities in the Process Market. With the expansion of the manufacturing customer base in the southeastern USA, Centro recognized that the solutions focus that Centro brought to the process market could create value for customers in Discrete Manufacturing market. 
 
  • In 2010 Centro Inc. entered the Discrete Manufacturing market with the addition of the Numatics product line and the creation of the Compressed Air Controls Division. The Compressed Air Control Division was focused on Pneumatic Automation in the discrete manufacturing market. 

  • In 2012, in an continuing effort to expand our services and products to customers in Discrete Manufacturing Centro acquired Meredith Air Controls of Nashville, Action Fluid Power of Memphis and Hydragear of Shreveport LA—with these three acquisitions the range of products and services for the Pneumatic Controls market increased dramatically.

  • In June 2017, Centro expanded the Compressed Air Division beyond pneumatic controls into Automation & Robotics. Jerry Walling joined the company in June, 2017 after a 20 year career in industrial automation to lead the expansion of the division. Over the past 12 months key product lines have been added including: Rollon, Dorner, Denso, Rethink Robotics to compliment the other key products from Numatics, Ace Controls and Schunk.

  • On June 30, 2018 Centro acquired Advanced Industry Support Inc. of Memphis www.aisimem.com. This acquisition has added to our Automation & Robotics solutions capabilities including:  UL 508A Certified Control Panel fabrication, Systems Integration, PLC programming, Adjustable Frequency Drives, Vision Systems, Information Systems, Safety Systems and other complimentary automation products.
 
The Automation & Robotics Division at Centro combines world class products for the Discrete Manufacturing and OEM markets. The division is staffed with technically trained customer service, sales and engineering personnel capable of Advancing Ideas into Solutions for manufacturing facilities in the Process, Automation, Controls and OEM market.  We have created a new Automation & Robotics line ca rd attached to this e-mail, please download it, or view our products in the Automation & Robotics Division pages on the Centro Inc. web site at www.CentroSolves.com
