“The solution that c3 provided eliminated unnecessary devices in that panel and reduced its cost - which, in turn, helped us increase the sales of that package.”

Pioneer Technologies, a division of Pioneer Dock Equipment, is a UL508A certified panel shop that builds all types of electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic control panels and harnesses. Since its formation, Pioneer Technologies has been committed to helping manufacturing companies improve their operations by integrating system control technology and reliable equipment controls.

Years ago, Pioneer’s Lead Engineer and Manager, Russell Ariks, had been hearing positive things about c3controls during conversations with people in the industry. After meeting a c3 representative at a trade show and subsequently touring the c3 facilities, Ariks and his team were impressed with the pricing, quality, lead time, and seamless integration of c3 products. Ariks notes, “It’s a constant struggle to get that balance between cost effective and quality equipment. c3controls was a good balance between those two.”

Pioneer Technologies now relies on c3controls for a variety of products such as disconnect switches, contactors, overload relays, motor protection circuit breakers, miniature circuit breakers, and more. With a user-friendly website and purchasing process that is “a breeze, clear cut, and very easy,” Pioneer consistently recommends c3 products to others in their industry - even some friendly competitors! “All I’ve ever had to do is send c3 a purchase order - and, very quickly, I receive a sales quotation back. That’s exactly the way I want it to be - easy and straightforward” says Ariks.
