Ann Arbor, Michigan - July 11, 2008 - Nematron Corporation announces that Optimation, in Huntsville,
Alabama, has been combined with their operations in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The transition, which
began in May, is now complete with uninterrupted shipment of products and service.
Optimation, a fully owned subsidiary of Nematron has been operating as separate entity since being
acquired in 2001. The relocation of Optimation to Ann Arbor will result in improvements in operational
efficiency, allowing for greater investment in product development, marketing, and customer service.
All operations in Huntsville, Alabama will be closed now that the transition is complete.
Optimation produces cost effective Remote I/O and Operator Interface Terminal products for industrial
control and automation. Their primary product lines are the OptiMate® and OptiLogic(TM) Series. The
OtiMate series products provide flexible low cost operator panels for microcontroller and PLC
applications, while the OptiLogic series products provide low cost, high performance distributed I/O and
operator panel functions for control applications.
"By combining our resources a more complete and integrated product offering will now be available
from Nematron," states Greg Chandler, President and CEO of Nematron. "The move will also allow
more engineering development and enhancements to keep up with the ever increasing functionality
