Custom Controls Technology

What Custom Controls Technology does

Custom Controls Technology (CCT), founded in 1987 and headquartered in a 35,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Hialeah, Florida, designs, fabricates, and integrates custom industrial control systems for municipal, utility, industrial, and aviation customers. Its product portfolio spans industrial automation panels, pumping systems, power distribution units (up to 6,000 Amps), medium voltage switchgear (5/15 KV), power generation controls, HMI/SCADA systems, explosion-proof panels, baggage handling controls, extruder controls, and fountain controls, supplemented by add-on modules such as CNC enclosure modification via two nVent HOFFMAN ModCenters, the Satie System wire-duct-free frame system, and a patented submersible control panel enclosure certified to UL Verification V986660 for 30-day water immersion resistance. The company operates as an authorized integrator for major automation OEMs including Rockwell Automation, Siemens (now a Drive Package Partner), Schneider Electric, Eaton, ABB/Baldor, Trihedral (VTSCADA), and LS Electric, giving it multi-vendor integration capability backed by UL 508A, UL 698A, and UL 1741 certifications.

CCT's business model is project-based and quote-driven, with multi-year contracts, 30-day net payment terms, an 18-month or 1-year post-commissioning warranty, and project cancellation fees of $2,000-$5,000. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of custom control panels and professional services including engineering, integration, commissioning, training, and post-installation support. The customer base is heavily weighted toward municipal water and wastewater utilities across Florida (Miami Dade Water and Sewer, City of Coral Gables, City of Fort Lauderdale, City of Hollywood, City of Naples, City of Hialeah, Broward County, City of Charlotte, among others), with additional exposure to US airport power distribution, historical oil and gas refinery customers, and international projects across Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Honduras, and Venezuela. The firm is founder/family-controlled, with no external funding, and was led by Gerry Gallo before transitioning presidential leadership to Sheila Gallo.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens: Global automation and digitalization OEM (Siemens Industry) whose PLCs CCT programs and integrates. Major incumbent in industrial controls; CCT is a Drive Package Partner but also competes against Siemens' direct integration services.
• Rockwell Automation: Global industrial automation OEM whose Allen-Bradley hardware CCT integrates. Large incumbent in the same value chain, with internal system-integration capabilities that overlap and potentially compete with CCT.
• Rittal North America: Global manufacturer of enclosures, power distribution, and climate-control products used in industrial control cabinets. Broader incumbent that overlaps with CCT's enclosure fabrication business but as a global enclosure OEM rather than custom integrator.

Direct peers

• Avanceon: System integrator delivering automation, SCADA, and control panel solutions to oil & gas, power, and infrastructure clients in the Middle East and North America. Comparable to CCT in process-control integration and industrial customer base.
• Martin Technical: Industrial automation services and control panel integration firm serving manufacturing and process clients in North America. Similar to CCT in offering custom control panels, SCADA integration, and engineering services to industrial end users.
• Hargrove Controls & Automation: Industrial controls and automation integrator delivering PLC, SCADA, and DCS solutions across process industries. Comparable to CCT as a Rockwell/Siemens integrator serving chemical, refining, and municipal water clients.
• Maverick Technologies (a Rockwell Automation company): Large independent system integrator (now part of Rockwell) specializing in process control and SCADA for manufacturing and life sciences. Comparable to CCT's HMI/SCADA and PLC integration capabilities, though at significantly greater scale.
• Panelmatic: US-based custom control panel builder and systems integrator serving industrial, utility, and OEM customers. Closely comparable to CCT in product scope (custom panels, UL-certified enclosures, system integration) and customer mix (industrial, municipal, energy).
• Precision Controls Inc. Custom control panel manufacturer and systems integrator focused on UL 508A/698A panels, SCADA, and integration services. Closely matches CCT's core panel-building, hazardous-location certification, and municipal/industrial customer mix.
• Logic Automation: US-based systems integrator and control panel builder focused on PLC programming, SCADA, and industrial automation for manufacturing and water/wastewater clients. Similar product offering and customer overlap with CCT.
