Following the 2024 acquisition of Red Lion Controls, HMS and Red Lion teams have worked together to seamlessly integrate their offerings. The result is two trusted brands - Red Lion and N-Tron - now under the HMS umbrella, offering enhanced value and streamlined access to industrial connectivity solutions.

Unified brands, expanded capabilities

Red Lion by HMS Networks will offer scalable industrial solutions for cloud connectivity, edge intelligence, asset management, as well as rugged operator panels and panel meters - designed to deliver real-time data visibility, especially in demanding environments.

N-Tron by HMS Networks will focus on rugged industrial Ethernet switches, providing secure, reliable connectivity for industrial networking.

Existing HMS and Red Lion customers will continue to enjoy their trusted purchasing channels and integration partners. Now, they will benefit from a wider, more integrated product offering.

With manufacturing in both Sweden and the U.S., and operations in more than 20+ countries, HMS offers local support, technical expertise, and reliable distribution.

"With the Red Lion and N-Tron product brands, we can offer our customers more choices and a seamless experience," says Alexander Hess, Senior Vice President of HMS division for Industrial Data Solutions.

"By aligning these brands under the HMS umbrella, we're making it easier for automation engineers and system integrators to build smarter, more connected industrial systems. This means faster deployment, better support, and solutions that simply work better together."
