EMX Industries, Inc.–a Cleveland, Ohio, based access control and industrial automation sensor company–has acquired Transponder and Reader Engineered Systems, Inc. (TRES)–a USA designer and manufacturer of RFID readers and tags for the access control market–effective June 26, 2023.
 
TRES founders Steve Hale and Rick Langevin have decided to sell TRES so they can transition to retirement. Both will remain consultants to the EMX management team. Mark Phillips, TRES Vice President of Sales, will join the EMX Industries sales team and continue to support the RFID business.

For more than 30 years, EMX Industries has been a manufacturer of highly engineered sensors across many industries. Main product categories include photoelectric sensors, vehicle detection sensors and now RFID readers and tags for the access control industry.

Furthermore, EMX has capitalized on its expertise in optics to develop a family of sensors for the industrial automation industry including color, luminescence, opacity, contrast, light measurement, color mark, label, tin side detection, brightness and phosphorescence sensors.
