National Automation Services, a process automation control solutions company seeking to grow nationally from its base in the Southwest, is now able to move forward with plans for expansion. The steps required to become a fully reporting company, though critically important to their presence in the investor market, limited National in what it could do strategically. Now that the process is completed, and the company is fully reporting, they are ready to roll with their originally stated strategy of both geographical and industrial expansion.
National has already begun its move into California. They are currently designing and building control systems for two California equipment manufacturers, and are actively working in the public utilities sector in Los Angeles. They have opened an office in the state, and are looking for acquisition opportunities there, but are also continuing to target firms in other areas of the country.
According to recent press releases, they are holding firm to their goal of becoming a nationwide producer of automation and controls. In addition, they intend to continue expanding industrially, building from their strong reputation working with water and wastewater systems for municipalities. Their portfolio now includes work with companies like Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Weyerhauser, Honeywell, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Chevron, and Southwest Airlines, all increasing National’s industrial diversity.
With Southwest Airlines, for example, National supports operations at the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, maintaining an extensive baggage handling system which examines the baggage and automates the sorting. For Honeywell’s Security Division, National manufactured specialized control panels used by Honeywell for station security at remote locations on the Alaska pipeline.
The company is now hoping to kick expansion plans into high gear, with steps toward specific acquisitions by as early as the end of 2010.
