ABOUT US: 

Automation Displays, inc. was founded in 1971 by two engineers who left a major control OEM in Minneapolis to start a Graphic Control Panel Manufacturing Company. They started out producing custom graphic control panels for the Process Control and Mass Transit industries. 14 years after its founding Member, Richard Carroll and 3 partners, whom were all ADi employees at the time, purchased ADi. They grew the business by servicing customers in the Building Automation, Detention, and Oil industries. In 2019, Brenden Carroll purchased all outstanding shares from his father.  

ADi supplies system integrators and installers in the building automation, detention and access control, fire signaling, oil and gas, and industrial control industries.
