What Amerimation does

Amerimation Inc. is a privately held US-based industrial automation distributor headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The company markets itself as a cost-effective American automation solutions provider serving manufacturers, panel builders, and robotics integrators across the United States. Its go-to-market combines direct sales, distributor recruitment, and OEM partnership programs, with pricing handled through product inquiry rather than public listing. No external funding, parent company, or public ownership signals are disclosed in the source material.

The product portfolio spans a comprehensive range of automation components organized into roughly a dozen categories: signal devices (tower lights, beacons, buzzers, pilot lamps), switches (foot, limit, micro, pushbutton/E-stop, disconnectors), enclosures (plastic and aluminum), sensors (inductive proximity, capacitive proximity, photoelectric, encoder, vision, pressure, displacement, fiber optic, liquid level, door/area), safety devices (light curtains, controllers, door switches, forcibly-guided relays), controllers (HMI touch screens, temperature/humidity controllers, panel meters, counters/timers, recorders), motor control (variable frequency drives including the LS Electric LSLV iS7/H100/S100/G100/M100/SP100 series, contactors, overload relays, manual motor starters, motor protection relays), power control (solid-state, thyristor, and modular multi-channel power controllers), connectivity (IO-Link masters, terminal blocks, electromechanical and solid-state relays, sensor connectors, remote I/O), cable management (energy chains, corrugated tubes), and specialized robotic dress packs (Roboway, Robo-Kit, and UR.Band for Universal Robots UR3/UR5/UR10 cobots). The catalog skews toward distribution of Autonics and LS Electric brand components rather than proprietary product design.

Revenue is generated exclusively through hardware sales with no disclosed recurring software, subscription, or service component. Customer mix is segmented across industrial manufacturing (primary), robotics integration (focused on Universal Robot cobots), and electrical contractors/panel builders. The distributor recruitment page is publicly visible, suggesting channel expansion is an active priority. No financial figures, headcount, management team, awards, or patent portfolio is disclosed in the source data, limiting visibility into scale and economics.

Broad incumbents

• Kaman Industrial Technologies: Kaman Industrial Technologies is an industrial distributor providing automation, motion-control, electrical, and maintenance solutions to manufacturing customers. Its broader portfolio and technical support make it a relevant scaled peer, although it is not limited to automation components.
• Applied Industrial Technologies: Applied Industrial Technologies distributes industrial automation, motion, power-transmission, safety, and maintenance products. It serves a similar manufacturing customer base but operates at substantially greater breadth and scale.
• Motion Industries: Motion Industries supplies industrial automation and motion-control products alongside mechanical power transmission, bearings, and maintenance supplies. Its automation and motion categories and distributor model are comparable, with a much wider portfolio.
• Wesco: Wesco is a global electrical, communications, and industrial distribution company with automation and industrial-control offerings. It overlaps in products and customers but is a much larger, broader incumbent.
• Grainger: Grainger is a broad B2B MRO distributor serving manufacturers with electrical, safety, motor, control, and maintenance products. It is an indirect peer because it shares Amerimation's industrial customer base and catalog-led distribution motion, but not its automation specialization.
