PITTSBURGH, January 18, 2016 - The Pittsburgh Business Times ranked Premier Automation the 18th Largest Engineering Firm in Western Pennsylvania for 2015. With nearly 100 employees and over 20 full-time engineers on staff, Premier Automation has the capacity to take on projects of any size and complexity.

The Pittsburgh Business Times ranks companies in the Book of Lists with varying metrics. Premier Automation was measured by number of employees, while other categories may be evaluated by number of permits or production rates. All of the businesses included in the Book of Lists are key players in the region by any measure.

In an interview with Our Region’s Business, Ethan Lott, the Research Director at the Pittsburgh Business Times, notes that the Book of Lists widened in scope during recent years to capture how businesses interact both locally and in multi-state economies. He also observed that many of the companies in the Book of Lists not only survived the recession of the past decade, but drove aggressive growth and sometimes tripled in size.

Premier Automation numbers among those companies. Launching in 2002 with 20 employees, Premier Automation overcame the impact of the recession on the manufacturing community by helping clients adapt to the shifting economic landscape. By resurrecting hundreds of failing or outdated systems, Premier Automation not only grew its business but also ensured that customers succeeded in an increasingly challenging market.
