About Us
Three decades of valve automation experience, built into a new company.
Archer Automation was founded to solve a problem we know intimately: getting high-quality valve automation accessories into customers’ hands quickly, with the technical expertise to specify them correctly and the inventory to deliver them on time.
Our leadership has spent more than three decades in the valve automation industry — designing, specifying, selling, and supporting positioners, limit switch boxes, position transmitters, and pneumatic accessories for the most demanding applications in process industry. We’ve worked alongside distributors, manufacturers’ representatives, valve packagers, OEM valve manufacturers, EPC engineering firms, and end-user plants in oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, power generation, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, pulp and paper, food and beverage, and specialty chemical. That experience is the foundation of Archer Automation.
Our product line.
We offer a complete line of accessories for automated valves: electro-pneumatic positioners in linear and rotary configurations, pneumatic-pneumatic positioners, smart digital positioners with HART communications, explosion-proof and general-purpose limit switch boxes, air filter regulators, air volume boosters, and mounting brackets for any actuator and valve combination.
Every product is engineered to perform in the conditions our customers actually face — high vibration, corrosive media, extreme temperatures, hazardous areas, and demanding duty cycles. Our hazardous-area products carry ATEX, IECEx, and KC Ex global certifications, with FM approval currently in process for North American oil and gas, refining, and petrochemical service.
What sets us apart.
We sell on three things, and only three things: quality, availability, and the technical depth to back both up.
Our products are designed and built to premium specifications — not the lowest-cost option, but the right specification for plants that cannot afford a failure. We stock fast-moving items in Houston, Texas and the Northeast so we can ship in 24 to 48 hours when our competitors are quoting weeks or months. And when you call us, you reach someone who can talk through your application at the level of Class and Division ratings, NEMA enclosure types, cam mechanisms, switch ratings, loop wiring, and stroke-time calculations — not someone reading from a product catalog.
Who we serve.
We work with distributors and manufacturers’ representatives who need a reliable, premium-tier accessory line. We work with valve automation packagers who need accessories that ship on time, every time. We work with OEM valve manufacturers who need standardized accessory components for their automated valve packages. We work with EPC engineering firms who need products that meet rigorous hazardous-area and material specifications. And we work directly with end-user plants on critical retrofits, turnarounds, and capital projects.
Across the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and increasingly across global markets where our products are specified — we are building Archer Automation into a name our customers trust the way they trust the people behind it.
Quality. Inventory. Expertise. Delivered.
If you’re sourcing accessories for an automated valve package, we’d welcome the conversation. We’re happy to send data sheets, cross-references, dimensional drawings, and certification documents on request — or to discuss your application directly with one of our engineers.
