The Fitch Company
Electrical, Instrument and Process Control Engineers

Since 1986, The Fitch Company has specialized in electrical and process control systems for pulp and paper companies and related manufacturing industries. Today, we've broadened our areas of expertise to include all process industries and expanded our lead staff to include experts in a wide variety of areas, so we can provide you with full-service E&I engineering.

At The Fitch Company, we're known for our strong client relationships and cost-effective business sense — and for our:

  • Experienced engineers and field technicians
    We know the questions we need to ask and the information we need to gather, so we can learn your system quickly and thoroughly — and complete your project efficiently. Once your system is up, we'll provide all the documentation and training your personnel need to keep everything running smoothly.
    Our experience will save you time.
  • Process expertise
    We understand process and we know control equipment. We have process control experience in chemical industry, alternate energy control systems, boiler operation, pulping, papermaking, and finishing, as well as in utilities, processing plants, and machine automation. We can develop a new system or upgrade and streamline your existing one, and make sure your plant's process is as efficient and productive as possible.
    We'll get — and help you keep — your system running at peak performance.
  • Exceptional reverse engineering and modernization ability
    The Fitch Company is known for its ability to implement control solutions for replacement systems involving complex "black boxes" and obsolete single-loop or relay-based systems. Give us your most intricate process application dilemma, and we'll figure it out — even without existing documentation. Our engineers and field technicians will partner with your staff to expertly complete your retrofit projects, as well as new installations and rebuilds — and always with respect for your operating schedule and working environment.
     We can upgrade most systems and help you improve your product quality and uptime.
  • Large-firm expertise with small-firm service
    With three offices serving clients nation-wide as well as in Mexico, Canada ans South America, The Fitch Company is the largest E&I firm in the state of Maine.  In spite of this we, still have a commitment to the kind of flexibility and service you'd expect from a smaller company. We can pull together an entire team of experts to help you meet your goals, or we'll send in a single engineer if that's what you need. With us, you'll deal directly with The Fitch Company professionals who are best for your project, from start to finish. We'll be there when you need us, around the clock, and every time.
    We offer you large-firm expertise with small-firm service.
  • Ability to handle all phases of your E&I project
    We don't stop at design. We'll handle concept definition and scope development, cost justification, process design, detail design, automation, programming, construction coordination, implementation and documentation — and provide a fully integrated approach from power distribution to automation and controls.
    We can handle your project from conception to start-up.
  • Partnering
    Our strong relationships with carefully selected firms that specialize in piping, mechanical and machine design, and civil/structural engineering allow us to offer cost-effective, multi-disciplined engineering support to our clients. Whenever we need process-specific engineering expertise — a German-speaking engineer when working on a German-manufactured machine, for instance — we find the best people to be part of our team.
    Expertise always saves project time and costs.
  • Software and hardware familiarity
    We have extensive experience with Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Software Products, Wonderware Intouch, GE Fanuc Ifix, Citect, Moore Products, GE PLCs, Modicon PLCs, Foxboro IA, Valmet Damatic, Honeywell TDC, Honeywell Experion, Fisher Provox, Emerson DeltaV, Paper Quality Systems, Honeywell (formerly Measurex), ABB (AccuRay) and Valmet. Our familiarity with so many products means we can quickly specify and order the best equipment for you, no matter what the project.
     Our in-depth knowledge of a wide variety of control systems once again means time and cost savings for you.
