Encoder Products Company and Wachendorff Partner to Expand Encoder Solutions for North American Automation Markets


Encoder Products Company (EPC) and Wachendorff Automation are proud to announce a new partnership focused on delivering encoder solutions and motion feedback solutions to customers across North America.

The partnership brings together Wachendorff’s innovative absolute encoder technology with EPC’s responsive engineering support, application expertise, and decades of experience serving industrial automation markets.

Together, the companies aim to provide OEMs, system integrators, distributors, and end users with enhanced access to high-performance encoder technologies designed for demanding industrial environments and innovative automation systems.

Expanding Motion Control

As industrial automation continues to evolve, manufacturers are seeking more precise, reliable, and connected motion feedback solutions. Through this collaboration, EPC and Wachendorff are expanding the range of encoder technologies available to customers while helping to simplify implementation and application support. 

The partnership strengthens offerings for applications involving:

  • Factory automation
  • Robotics and autonomous systems
  • Material handling and warehousing
  • Packaging machinery
  • Mobile equipment
  • Harsh industrial environments
  • Precision positioning systems

Customers will benefit from access to advanced absolute encoder solutions supporting today’s leading industrial communication protocols, including EtherCAT, PROFINET, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, BiSS, SSI and SAE J1939.

Combining Innovation and Responsive Support

Both Wachendorff and EPC have built strong reputations for developing high-performance encoder technologies engineered for demanding industrial environments. The partnership brings together two experienced encoder manufacturers with a shared focus on innovation, precision, reliability, and solving complex motion feedback challenges.

Together, the companies are expanding access to encoder solutions while helping customers improve system performance, simplify integration, and support evolving automation requirements.
