What NOREC Automation does

NOREC Automation is a privately held industrial automation systems integrator founded in 2007 and headquartered in Solon, Ohio (30405 Solon Rd, STE 7). The company designs and delivers control systems for industrial firms, electric utilities, and original equipment manufacturers, with a cumulative track record of 1,000+ delivered automation projects. Its core offerings fall into three integrated service lines: BMS & Combustion Solutions (burner management and combustion control for fired equipment such as package boilers, power boilers, recovery boilers, furnaces, ovens, kilns, HRSGs, and thermal oxidizers), Control Systems Integration (turnkey PLC/DCS/HMI programming, control panel design and build, balance-of-plant controls, and full lifecycle services from engineering through commissioning), and OEM Solutions (engineered-to-order control system engineering acting as an extension of OEM internal teams).

The underlying technology stack is built on industry-standard control platforms with deep expertise in safety-critical standards including NFPA 85, NFPA 86, FM, BLRBAC, and SIL 2. Differentiated capabilities include custom control hardware packaging tailored to minimize disruption during upgrade projects, multi-platform programming support, and balance-of-plant integration across water treatment, wastewater, soot blowers, precipitators, ash handling, scrubbers, cooling towers, and solid-fuel handling. The company is a Rockwell Automation Silver-level System Integrator and maintains channel partnerships with Hy-Tech Controls and Anderson International Corp, the latter functioning as a global OEM controls partner for vegetable oil processing equipment deployments.

NOREC generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements quoted per project, with no public pricing disclosure. End markets span energy & utilities, pulp & paper, food & beverage, chemical & petrochemical, metals/mining/cement, institutional facilities, and OEM manufacturers, with named enterprise customers including OGE Energy Corporation, Sappi, Domtar, MillerCoors, MolsonCoors, and Anderson International Corp. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (website contact, phone) with partner-sourced leads through the Rockwell SI locator and OEM relationships.
