The History of Precision Engine Controls Corporation

Precision Engine Controls Corporation (PECC), founded in 1968 as Spasors Corporation, specializing in aircraft instrumentation equipment. Today, PECC manufactures control systems, fuel metering valves and actuators for industrial gas turbine engines.

In the 1970's, the company focused on manufacturing industrial turbine control systems under the name Continental Controls Corporation. In 1978, the company was acquired by Bendix,. and transitioned into military electronic engine controls under the name Bendix Energy Controls, while maintaining the industrial turbine controls line.

In 1982, Bendix sold the company to Allied and in 1985, Allied merged with Signal; however, the company focus remained on military and industrial engine controls. In 1987 AlliedSignal transferred its line of industrial magneto products from Florida to California to be combined with the digital reciprocating and turbine engine control systems.

During the late 1980's the Black Box product line was divested to a new start up company that also took on the old company name of Continental Controls Corporation.

The most important date to us as Precision Engine Controls: In 1992, AlliedSignal divested the industrial line of products. The company became known as Precision Engine Controls Corporation (PECC).

PECC provides controls, valves, and actuators to some of the largest and best known manufacturers of industrial gas turbine engines in the world such as Honeywell, Kawasaki, GE- Oil and Gas, Rolls-Royce and Solar Turbines.

PECC has been ISO 9001 certified since early 1997, meeting these quality standards as well as other stringent product certifications such as PED and ATEX.

In 2007 PECC was acquired by Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation as an operating unit of United Technologies and now enjoys all the support resources and systems available as an integral part of a dynamic multi-billion dollar company. 

Our highly sophisticated products, satisfied customer network, skilled employee base, and financial strength combine to make Precision Engine Controls Corporation a worldwide leader in supporting the industrial turbine engine market.
