Introducing OTC Industrial Technologies to the Air Technologies Group

The past few years have been marked by challenges and opportunity for the manufacturing industry.

With outside forces such as trade disagreements, port backups, and new regulations, the last few years have also seen a disruption of product demand and supply chain issues.

The industry has had to work to keep pace with market disruptions. New technology, the rise of automation, and the continuing progress towards industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, and the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) have driven companies to adapt or risk falling behind. The ebb and flow of consumer and industry demand coupled with supply chain challenges have left sales teams with accumulating back orders and difficult discussions with customers.

Despite these challenges, many companies have discovered growth and revenue opportunities that may not have been available a few years ago, and sales channels that previously weren’t possible.

That’s where OTC Industrial Technologies comes in.

Listening and Learning from Our Customers

While we’ve always taken the time to listen to our customers, this past year we’ve made it a priority. With so many challenges facing our industry, we wanted to connect with manufacturers and dig deep to understand the pain points they were experiencing, as well as the support and solutions they were looking for.

They had plenty to say.

While they were happy with the support, technical expertise and turnkey solutions we offer, we also heard about the other challenges they were facing. We heard about the supply chain issues, the constant struggle to deliver products faster, and to find the support and technical expertise they needed to deliver for their customers.

With so much opportunity in the market, but also so many challenges, manufacturers need help. Now more than ever before, manufacturers need solutions.

The Future of Turnkey Manufacturing Solutions

The motivation behind OTC Industrial Technologies came from these discussions.

We understood that our customers saw our industrial distributors and service providers as a solution to their current challenges. They rely on us for our turnkey solutions, technical expertise and exceptional customer service, but they weren’t aware of everything we had to offer.

The companies that come to us for compressed air and utility services often didn’t know the breadth and depth of our other services, expertise, or capabilities.

In restructuring our owned brands to OTC Industrial Technologies, our goal is to make it easier for our customers to quickly and easily access solutions to other needs. Rather than struggling to find a solution with their existing resources, or reaching out to a new provider who may (or may not) be able to help, they can connect with our customer service team, a team they have come to know and rely on, to get the products, support, and expertise they need.

With OTC, we’re helping drive efficiency forward for manufacturers.
