We Build What Lasts - Relationships, Systems, and Impact
At Pigler Automation, we collaborate with the individuals and companies that keep the world moving, from clean energy to life-saving pharmaceuticals. Our purpose is simple: to build lasting relationships, solve significant problems, and leave every system better than we found it.
Engineered for Impact. Driven by Curiosity. Trusted by Industry Leaders.
Pigler Automation was founded in 2005 by Karen and Harry Pigler, former Siemens engineers who helped shape some of the industry’s earliest distributed control systems. With decades of experience and a reputation for precision, they set out to build a new kind of engineering firm, one that could bridge deep technical knowledge with real-world implementation.
Today, we’ve grown into a nationally recognized automation partner. Our team of engineers, integrators, and project leaders supports clients across hydropower, chemical, biopharma, and manufacturing industries, from legacy upgrades to greenfield designs. And while our toolkit has expanded to include platforms like Ignition, Beckhoff, and Rockwell, our commitment to quality and partnership remains unchanged.
How We Work is Who We Are
Our values are more than words; they shape how we approach every project, support every customer, and collaborate as a team. They reflect the mindset we bring to solving complex problems and the culture we’ve built to keep growing together.
We lead with clarity, stay curious, and bring a little joy to the process – because excellence doesn’t have to be boring.
Core Values
We take initiative, own our decisions, and act with purpose, even in uncertain situations. Our clients count on us to be proactive, precise, and always prepared.
We ask questions. We listen. We explore new tools, test new approaches, and keep learning, because curiosity drives better outcomes.
We don’t settle for “good enough”. Whether we’re writing PLC logic or leading a kickoff, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we push each other to keep improving.
We’re stronger as a team, both with our clients and with one another. We communicate openly, celebrate shared successes, and work through challenging issues together.
Inspired by the Gücksschwein – Germany’s lucky pigs – Double Razorbacks reminds us to enjoy the ride. Pigs are clever, bold, and full of class. Whether it’s playing “Pass the Pigs” at lunch or pulling together to solve a complex issue, we remember to laugh, stay human, and roll one more Double Razorback.
From Strategy to System. Where Purpose Meets Execution
The values we lead with show up in the technologies we work with and the way we implement them. Whether you’re upgrading a DCS, deploying a new SCADA system, or optimizing PLC logic, we bring structure, clarity, and depth to every solution we deliver.
We don’t just know the tools, we know how to apply them in ways that reduce risk, improve performance, and align with your long-term goals.
