S&C Offers 10-Year Warranty for Automation Products.

To demonstrate S&C’s commitment to customers — and confidence in the long-term performance of our electronic controls and software — S&C is pleased to announce that, effective January 1, 2006, a 10-year no-hassle warranty will apply to nearly all of our automation products.

S&C has implemented a number of design improvements over the past few years and has stepped-up testing and QA activity, and is confident the longer warranty is justified. In fact, S&C will retroactively provide this extraordinary warranty on their automation products manufactured since January 1, 2005.
