Many years ago I used Benshaw soft starts and drives. Have many of you used Benshaw lately ? Where are they actually built now ? I see they have a location in Pittsburgh and Canada . For the sake of our customers , I’m looking for options in case this supply chain issues get worse .
Thanks for all your responses and experiences . Have a great weekend .
Yes, I’ve used quite a few Benshaw soft starts.
They do still have some of the PA built soft starts in their line up, but they are being phased out since they purchased Aucomm. Their new soft starts are the Aucomms.
Their drives are just rebadged LS Electric (South Korea). I’ve heard rumors that the Aucomm soft starts are also OEM’d by LS.
LS is solid stuff, sometimes a little dated as far as technology, but I wouldn’t be afraid of Benshaw products.
