Airline Hydraulics Corp. has expanded its sales and service territory on the East Coast as an “elite” distributor of industrial automation products manufactured by Phoenix Contact.

Its newly broadened reach now includes western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, fortifying Airline’s presence in the North and Southeastern United States, from Maine to Georgia. The expansion builds upon the strategic growth from last year when Airline’s distribution territory extended into New England and western New York.

“This extension is a remarkable opportunity for both the Airline and our customers,” said Tom Yeager, Industrial Sales Manager from Phoenix Contact, in a Feb. 28 news release. “Airline’s demonstrated commitment to quality service and depth of industry knowledge makes them an exemplary partner for us. We eagerly anticipate the value this will bring to customers in the western Pennsylvania and West Virginia areas.”

Airline’s website offers a portal for accessing a wide array of Phoenix Contact products, ranging from automation hardware to electronic interface systems.

Since 1949, Airline has been a provider of components, engineered systems, service and repair; and is known for promoting fluid power, automation and machine safety technology in diverse industries.
