Fletcher Group Automation

What Fletcher Group Automation does

Fletcher Group Automation, now operating as State Group Automation (SGA) following a February 2026 rebrand, is a US-based industrial automation services firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida. The company delivers customized design, support, and service for industrial automation customers, with a portfolio spanning mechanical design and engineering, controls system electrical design, controls system software design, simulations, controls integration and commissioning, robotics integration and commissioning, turnkey project services, value engineering and lean manufacturing, process analysis and improvements, and business process automation with database development. Its primary customer segment is original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and automation partners, with additional served verticals including automotive, supply chain, mining, renewable energy, and industrial/commercial buyers across North America.

The business operates on a project-based professional services and managed services model, generating revenue through customized engineering engagements, full turnkey delivery with on-site commissioning, and ongoing support and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with bespoke industrial engineering work. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting OEM and industrial customers, and the company emphasizes degreed engineering professionals and long-term employees rather than contractors as its core differentiator, supported by a safety-first culture branded around an 'Everyone Goes Home Safe' mantra. As of February 2026, the firm has fully integrated into The State Group conglomerate and operates as a division within the State Group Family of Companies under new leader Steve Tallman, leveraging parent resources to scale workforce and capabilities without disclosed operational disruption.
