Namco – For Innovation and Integrity, Choose Namco
Founded in 1937 when the heavy industrial control
sensor industry was still in its infancy, Namco Controls has been the leader
that other manufacturers seek to emulate ever since. Beginning with the
introduction of the SNAP-LOCK® limit switch, the Namco
name has been synonymous with rugged reliability under even the most
challenging conditions. Today, we are still the Number One source for limit
switches for use in Nuclear Power Plants qualified to NRC requirements, with
installations around the world.
Part of what makes Namco a unique leader in the
industry is our history of innovating and creating new solutions when nothing
on the market is suitable for an emerging application. When non-contact
electronic sensing was required in automotive assembly lines, Namco was the
first US Company to respond. We patented internal short circuit protection for
2-wire sensors and developed the first weld field immune (WFI) sensors to
survive resistance welder applications, solidifying our reputation as a leader
in high reliability electronic sensing. And because we understand the
importance of reliability to our customers, we introduced the industry’s first
Lifetime Replacement Program for electronic sensors in 1987.
Namco has its headquarters in Elizabethtown, NC. Manufacturing
is also carried out in Elizabethtown, NC.
