ICS Triplex has acquired the turbomachinery and compressor control related technology and assets of Micon Systems LLC of Houston Texas.
This acquisition is another strategic step by ICS Triplex to increase its high technology offerings to the industrial automation world.

"Our customers have expected us to make available a complementary turbomachinery solution," commented Peter Mottershead, CEO of ICS Triplex.
"Today we are in a position to meet these expectations and offer a portfolio of technologies unmatched in this specialised automation market.
ICS Triplex has demonstrated its determination to lead the market with outstanding technologies such as those involved in the development of the Trusted™ product line.
We are looking forward to enhancing the Trusted™ product capabilities with patented surge protection and field proven Turbo Machinery Control (TMC) algorithms."

"Micon Systems, with turbine and compressor control products and technologies filled a definite niche in the turbomachinery market," said Roman Rammler, the former President of Micon Systems.
"The increased size and market visibility under ICS Triplex will allow our TMC technology to compete globally at all levels. Our customers, employees and the whole TMC market will definitely benefit from the involvement of ICS Triplex.
" Roman has joined ICS Triplex as the TMC Sales and Marketing Manager.

The TMC business unit will operate from ICS Triplex's Houston office. Rick McLin, who recently joined ICS Triplex from Triconex will manage the new business unit.
Rick has over 20 years experience in the TMC industry and most recently headed up a TMC product development group at another company.
"I am looking forward to incorporating the new TMC products into the Trusted™ product line and expanding the TMC solutions available to the market place", said Rick. "ICS Triplex will continue to manufacture and support the Micon U200 now named T6200 Compressor and Turbine Unit Controller, the S32 now named T6100 Compressor Anti-Surge and Capacity Controller and the T6050 SurgeGard products as well as developing new and exciting TMC solutions", he added.
