Endress+Hauser USA and Eastern Controls, Inc. broke ground on a new 88,437 sq-ft facility in Edgmont, Penn., a suburb of Philadelphia. The facility will enhance Endress+Hauser’s presence in the northeast and serve as the new headquarters for Eastern Controls, Inc., as both companies continue serving the region’s process measurement and control instrumentation needs.
“We are incredibly excited to expand our presence and brand in the northeast alongside our valued sales and service representative partner, Eastern Controls, Inc.,” said Todd Lucey, general manager, Endress+Hauser USA in a press release. “This milestone is significant for Eastern Controls and Endress+Hauser as we strive to better serve our customers and the communities where we live, work and play.”
The facility will house employees from Endress+Hauser and Eastern Controls, Inc. It will also allow the companies to meet the persistent product and service needs of customers in the life sciences, chemical, water/wastewater, power and energy, oil and gas and more. Holistically, Endress+Hauser and Eastern Controls, Inc. partner to bring everything from high-quality control valves, instrumentation and safety equipment to comprehensive service solutions and workforce development.
“This is a substantial milestone in our 55-year history,” said Cliff McLaughlin, Jr., President, Eastern Controls, Inc. “On top of offering top-of-the-line products and services, we will continue to offer and expand on various STEM and workforce development-related opportunities.

The new campus will be home to an expanded and upgraded process training unit (PTU) and the companies’ Innovation Center. The PTU is a state-of-the-art, full-functioning process automation facility with the latest field instruments and controls. It offers engineers, technicians and students the opportunity to receive in-depth hands-on training in flow, pressure, temperature, level and analysis instrumentation along with gas detection and control valves and actuation. Customers can interact with devices and technologies before an investment is made in their plant.
Additionally, the new facility will be the home to the northeast Community Career+Education Forum (CCEF) annual event, an experience tailored to the future of STEM. CCEF connects students, parents, educators, counselors and industry professionals to raise awareness and provide information about technical careers and opportunities.
Construction of the Edgmont facility is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
