Cattron™, a global leader in control solutions, has enhanced its offerings by acquiring BWI Eagle, a company specializing in industrial remote control systems. This strategic acquisition enhances Cattron’s existing wireless control portfolio, which includes trusted products like CattronControl™, Remtron™ and Tyro™.

Established in 1988 in Butler, Pennsylvania, BWI Eagle is known for its high-quality remote control systems, conveyor speed switches and other electronic specialty products that improve safety and productivity in various applications. Their handheld remote control transmitters have impressive operating ranges of up to 5000 feet, while stationary transmitters can cover even longer distances up to ten miles.

“We’re excited to incorporate the BWI Eagle product line into our already comprehensive portfolio of radio remote control products,” says Ryan Wooten, CEO of Cattron. “This acquisition allows us to offer our customers an even wider selection of top-notch solutions for their most demanding applications.”

BWI Eagle’s industrial wireless remote control systems offer users the convenience and reliability of controlling electrical equipment from a safe location. All remotes communicate with industrial duty receivers that have wireless relay outputs, which can be seamlessly integrated with the equipment or a PLC.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Cattron,” said David Festog, Founder and President of BWI Eagle. “Cattron’s unwavering commitment to excellence in radio remote control perfectly aligns with our company’s values, allowing us to continue delivering innovative solutions for our customers’ toughest challenges.”
