About Koyo
AutomationDirect.com in the USA is a subsidiary of Koyo
Electronics (part of the multi-billion dollar Koyo Seiko
group of companies). Koyo had designed and manufactured
PLCs for some of the world's largest PLC companies,
including General Electric, Texas Instruments, and
Siemens. However, the future plans of these companies
and Koyo were not compatible. Tim Hohmann, founder and
company captain of PLCDirect, (AutomationDirect.com)
established the company in January 1994 as the first entity
within the Koyo Seiko group to concentrate on the micro PLC
market.
