June 22, 2006 - Newnan, Georgia – Yokogawa Corporation of America announced today that its Calgary, Alberta, Canada office is now an incorporated division of the company known as Yokogawa Canada, Inc. “We are pleased to be able to officially launch this branch of the company,” said John Bowron, President of Yokogawa Canada, Inc. “Yokogawa has always believed that a commitment made is a commitment kept. We promised when we opened the office a little over a year ago, that we would continue to build the infrastructure required to meet the rapidly growing demands of the Canadian marketplace."
“Our incorporation of an office in this country will allow our Canadian operation more autonomy and agility to better support our customers and their individual needs in products, project engineering execution and performance services in the fastest growing region of North America. As the global leader in quality products and solutions, I believe that we will demonstrate to our Canadian customers what the rest of the world has seen first hand -- reliability and customer focus IS Yokogawa.” In alignment with the expansion of its industrial automation (IA) operations in North America, Yokogawa opened an engineering, sales, and service office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on January 15, 2005.
