Franklin Control

Last week a group from FCS volunteered at Junior Achievement's BizTown, a simulated community for 4th-6th graders. FCS volunteers oversaw several classes of 5th graders as they ran the show, conducting business and carrying out transactions and projects throughout the day.

Earlier this month, FCS broke out the dunk tanks in an effort to raise funds for the local United Way. It was a fun event for a great cause, as FCS management sacrificed their comfort and dignity to give their fellow employees a chance to dunk them.  

The Franklin Control Systems App  gives you access to the full line of FCS motor controls and corresponding documents. Choose your industry: HVAC or Pump. From there you can register, build quotes, generate submittals, save your favorite products and more. Currently, the app is only available on iOS. 

Our five-minute tutorial will give you a quick overview of this site and then take an in-depth look at the quote builder tool. Click the link below or visit our videos page in the resources drop down to check it out.

As the presenting sponsor, Franklin Control Systems raised over $43,000 for the Ski to Defeat ALS event, well over our goal of $35,000!  The event as a whole raised over $100,000 for the ALS Association of Oregon and SW Washington. FCS would like to give a huge thank you to all involved in the event, and especially to our partners who donated to this very worthy cause. 

In the month of March, Franklin Control Systems (FCS) will be donating a portion of our proceeds from select starter sales to the Oregon and SW Washington chapter of the ALS Association. Contact your FCS sales rep or local FCS distributor for more information on this charitable promotion. 

Franklin Control Systems will be the official sponsor of the 2016 Ski to Defeat ALS event taking place on Saturday, April 9th. 

Franklin Controls Systems will be at the AHR Expo in Orlando next week! We'll be in the Franklin Electric booth with Little Giant. Several demos will be set up, including the new EMS with FE Connect. Drop by and say hello!
