RE Mason Company

What RE Mason Company does

R.E. Mason Company (legal entity: Robert E. Mason & Associates, Inc.) is a privately held, family-owned industrial automation distributor and engineering services firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 1940 and operating continuously for 85+ years under four generations of Mason family ownership, the company serves as an Emerson Impact Partner — one of only 21 such partners in North America, the highest tier of Emerson's regional channel. Its territory is bounded by Emerson's channel allocation to North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, with seven physical offices and repair facilities across the three states.

The company distributes and implements Emerson's full process automation portfolio — DeltaV Distributed Control Systems, DeltaV MES, Safety Instrumented Systems, Fisher and Baumann valves and regulators, FIELDVUE digital valve controllers, AMS Trex device communicators, and OSIsoft PI historian technology — plus complementary third-party brands (Bürkert, A-T Controls, S\u00fcdmo, Ace Sanitary, Kinetrol, SPX FLOW, Naf, Wey). Revenue is generated through product resale (one-time license/sale of equipment), project services (MAC/MIV, FEED, commissioning), recurring mechanical and valve repair services, lifecycle automation and managed services, training, and subscription-style asset reliability / PdM offerings. Sales are quote-based, project-led, and executed through inside-sales Application Engineers and field engineering teams targeting enterprise and mid-market industrial customers.

The served verticals are heavily process-industry weighted: chemicals and petrochemicals, life sciences and pharmaceutical, power generation (including nuclear), LNG, natural gas, pulp and paper, metals and mining, with emerging exposure to hydrogen, lithium/battery supply chain, and data center infrastructure. Customers include biotech pilot plants and large pharmaceutical manufacturers running DeltaV-based batch automation at scales referenced in the hundreds-to-thousands of I/O points. Go-to-market leverages the Emerson co-brand, regional field-sales coverage, applied engineering services, and customer training as primary commercial levers.
