Company History
Our initial focus was to help turn around a tier-one supplier of suspension components to General Motors and Ford Motor Company. We then expanded to provide engineering services and automation design to many companies in the Midwest, while at the same time furthering the development of advanced control systems. One of the development activities grew into a startup called Phred, which provided an automated method for developing machine control applications.
At the turn of the century, Highline Controls moved to the Bay Area and changed its focus to the medical device, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. Since that time, we have helped many companies, from small startups to large high-volume companies, with their automation and validation projects. We now have offices in Livermore, California, with about 7,500 square feet for the design and build of your product.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is about delivering simple solutions to complex problems. We emphasize breaking down the process into more basic steps and devising innovative ways to ensure each stage is controlled and monitored. The combination of these individual phases provides a complex, yet efficient, process. Characterization and validation of the process is then low risk, given that every step is well understood and controlled. Our designs use this same approach to provide solutions that center on tightly controlling and monitoring all phases, usually with 100% verification for each one.
We work with you as if we are an extension of your engineering or quality assurance organization. Our knowledge and decades of experience combined with your organization's understanding of your product and process create an innovative, organized team. This approach allows us to offer the most efficient assistance with your product, which leads to better serving your customers.
