Energy Optimizing Controls, Inc. was founded in 2009 when the President of Energy Optimizing Controls, Inc. and Fairford Electronics, Ltd. decided to approach the North American market.  With such a close relationship it was a sense of family in operating in the US and we consider ourselves family.

 

Energy Optimizing Controls, Inc. adheres to the integrity of the Fairford product line.

 

Founded in 1979, Fairford Electronics are specialist designers and producers of soft starters and Energy Optimising soft starters for AC induction motors. Based in the UK we serve industrial and commercial markets worldwide with 80% of our annual sales being exported.

 

In the mid seventies, Frank Nola of NASA invented an energy saving algorithm for single phase induction motors. Many commercial manufacturers tried to adapt this technology for three phase induction motors but failed.
 
However, in 1982, Fairford  became the first company in the world to design and produce the first fully digital three phase soft starter with automatic Energy Optimising - the Fairford EO System was granted patents in the USA, Japan, Australia and Europe.
  

By specializing exclusively in this one area, Fairford have been able to lead the market through innovative design and engineering excellence.

 

As a result, we have developed many new features with increasingly more effective solutions to suit all sizes and complexity of applications.

 

Today, with a successful track record recognized around the world, Fairford are known internationally as the pioneers of digital soft starters and are still innovating today.
