Sun Coast Controls

What Sun Coast Controls does

Sun Coast Controls is a privately held U.S. engineering and manufacturing firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Jacksonville, with a headcount in the 11-50 range. The company designs and builds custom industrial control equipment, with disclosed product lines spanning Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs), Motor Starter Panels, and Human Machine Interface (HMI) monitoring systems. Its offering targets manufacturing facilities, industrial plants, and equipment builders that require application-specific hydraulic power, motor control, and process-monitoring solutions.

The company's technical core is a web-based Part Configurator platform that allows buyers to specify detailed system parameters — including max pressure (psi), max flow (gpm), reservoir orientation, heat exchanger type (air, water, or none), valve size (D03/D05), solenoid voltage (110VAC/24VDC), panel voltage (208V/240V/480V), motor count (1-4), and enclosure material (polycarbonate or steel) — and then automatically generates a part number that can be emailed to Sun Coast or saved as PDF for quoting. This configurator-driven workflow is the primary customer-acquisition and specification interface, supplemented by a distributor channel anchored by Scott Industrial.

Commercially, Sun Coast Controls operates a quote-based, project-by-project hardware sales model with no public pricing. Revenue is generated on a per-configuration basis through both direct factory outreach following configurator submissions and reseller activity through its distributor partner. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no public listing, no subsidiaries, and limited named end-customer data, consistent with a small, privately held custom industrial manufacturer.

Revenue model

1. Custom Industrial Equipment Sales: Sun Coast Controls generates revenue through the sale of custom-configured industrial equipment including hydraulic power units (HPU), motor starter panels, and HMI systems. Customers use online configurators to specify technical parameters, then submit part numbers for quote requests. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis with pricing determined by configuration complexity and specifications.

Core offering

Sun Coast Controls manufactures and sells custom-configured industrial control equipment, including hydraulic power units (HPUs), motor starter panels, and HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems. Customers use online part configurators on the company website to specify technical parameters such as pressure, flow rate, voltage, motor count, enclosure type, valve size, and heat exchanger options, then submit part numbers via email to receive a custom quote from a Sun Coast representative. Revenue is earned on a project-by-project basis through the sale of configured industrial hardware, supplemented by a distributor network.

Product overview

Sun Coast Controls offers a Part Configurator platform that enables customers to configure and generate part numbers for industrial equipment. The platform consists of three integrated configurator products: the HPU Configurator for hydraulic power units, the Motor Starter Panel Configurator for motor control panels, and HMI Global Watch for HMI monitoring. The system allows users to input technical parameters, select components like valve options and solenoid voltages, and submit configurations via email or save as PDF for review by Sun Coast Controls representatives.

Direct peers

• Parker Hannifin: Parker Hannifin's Industrial Motion & Fluid Power groups manufacture hydraulic power units, pumps, and motion control systems used in the same industrial automation applications as Sun Coast Controls' HPUs. Both compete for industrial OEMs specifying custom-configured hydraulic systems.
• Bosch Rexroth: Bosch Rexroth is a leading manufacturer of hydraulic power units, valves (D03/D05-style manifolds), and electric drives with online sizing and configuration tools. It directly competes with Sun Coast Controls' HPU and motor starter offerings in industrial machine building.
• Eaton: Eaton manufactures motor starters, motor control panels, and industrial control assemblies sold through electrical distribution. It competes head-to-head with Sun Coast Controls in custom motor starter panel configurations for industrial facilities.
• Rockwell Automation: Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) is a primary supplier of motor starters, motor control centers, and industrial control systems integrated with HMIs. Its configurator-based ordering tools and distributor network are direct analogs to Sun Coast Controls' model.
• Yaskawa America: Yaskawa manufactures VFDs, motor starters, and motion control products with configurable product families targeted at industrial OEMs. Its drives and motor starter portfolio overlap Sun Coast Controls' motor starter and control panel business.
• Danfoss: Danfoss Power Solutions designs hydraulic power units, valves, and motor control products for industrial and mobile equipment. Its configurable hydraulic product line is closely comparable to Sun Coast Controls' HPU and valve selection offering.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers motor starters, motor control centers, and HMI solutions (Magelis/HMIGTO) within a much broader industrial automation portfolio. It overlaps with Sun Coast Controls in motor control and HMI but operates at substantially greater scale and breadth.
• Siemens: Siemens Digital Industries provides industrial control panels, motor starters, drives, and HMI systems as part of its broader automation portfolio. Its SIMATIC and SIRIUS lines overlap Sun Coast Controls' motor starter and HMI products but serve a much wider customer base.
• ABB: ABB Motion and Process Automation divisions manufacture drives, motor starters, and control systems. While much larger than Sun Coast Controls, ABB competes for the same industrial motor control and hydraulic applications.
• Honeywell Process Solutions: Honeywell manufactures industrial control panels, HMIs, and process automation equipment serving similar industrial buyers. Its broader portfolio places it as an incumbent competitor for Sun Coast Controls' HMI and control panel offerings.
