CHICAGO (May 1, 2025) – AFS, a national provider of light industry automation and factory solutions across key verticals, recently became an authorized distributor of Murrelektronik, a German manufacturer of industrial automation hardware.
This expands AFS’s automation portfolio by bringing best-in-class industrial I/O, networking, and connectivity solutions to Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wisconsin regions. Their offerings fill a critical gap of the company’s, enabling AFS to deliver fully engineered, end-to-end automation systems. With Murrelektronik now part of the supplier lineup, AFS offers customers an even more comprehensive and integrated automation solution.
“Uniting Murrelektronik's innovative connectivity solutions with AFS Automation's value add solutions, we're building on our successful collaboration that began in 2018 with Neff Power across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas,” said Dave Weinberg, Director of Channel Development at Murrelektronik.” “Now expanding to include AFS in Wisconsin and AFS in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, this strategic alliance delivers unmatched automation capabilities to streamline our customer’s operations and maximize performance.”
Joel Braun, Senior VP of Technology at AFS stated, “For several years Neff Power, one of the companies acquired by AFS, was an authorized Distributor in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. MurrElektronik has continued to invest in its US operations and add new automation products into their portfolio, so it became clear they are a strong supplier in the automation and connectivity market. As AFS grows and expands, partnering with MurrElektronik reinforces our commitment to delivering best-in-class products to our customers.”
