Our Story
Bentronix began operation in 1984 incorporated in Huntsburg, OH by Peter & Millie Benins. Our origin was based on the need of a local industry for industrial instrumentation for their production machines. Over the years we have been distributors for many instrument manufactures, and retrofitted many instruments in machines for the local plastic, rubber, and assorted manufacturing companies. A natural progression of the instrumentation and control industry lead us to assist customers with replacement of old discrete controls. Many of our retrofits included the introduction of PLC control systems as well as installing data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
Meet the Team
We believe the most important part of our business is our staff. And the most important thing for our staff is family. Therefore we work with each employee to assist with their individual needs. I believe the family that plays together stays together.
