Rockwell Automation is a industrial automation company that also provides information solutions to companies worldwide.
The company was founded by Lynde Bradley and Dr. Stanton Allen in 1903 as Compression Rheostat Company. The company’s first product was a compression motor for industrial cranes.
The company, now named Allen-Bradley, grew rapidly during World War I with government contracts. By the end of the war product lines included automatic starters and switches, relays, circuit breakers, and other electric equipment.
World War II also brought a period of growth for the company, and wartime orders centered on industrial controls to speed production and electrical components, or radio parts.
In 1985 Rockwell International bought Allen-Bradley in a $1.65 dollar deal.
Rockwell International changed its name to Rockwell Automation in 2002.
Today Rockwell Automation is traded publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ROK, is a member of the S&P 500, is #410 in the Fortune 500, has 22,000 employees, and had $6.56 billion in revenue in 2013.

Streetsboro Planning and Zoning board member faces trial on felony theft charge
Accused of stealing more than $36,000 from homeowner’s association
By Dave O’Brien | staff writer Published: August 18, 2016 4:00 AM
A Rockwell Automation employee faces trial next week for allegedly stealing more than $36,000 while serving as president of the Saunders Creek Homeowner’s Association between March 2014 and January of this year.
Johnnie L. Randolph, 53, of 10084 Meadow Ridge Drive, was indicted in March on one count each of grand theft, tampering with records and misuse of credit cards, all fourth-degree felonies. The maximum sentence is 18 months in prison on each charge.
Randolph pleaded guilty and is free on bond. A pretrial hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday in Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman’s courtroom was rescheduled for Oct. 20. A trial date now is set for Oct. 25, according to court records.
Randolph’s defense attorney, Don Malarcik, had said Wednesday he would be “very surprised” if the trial went forward next week, as originally planned.
“We’re working with the prosecutor to attempt to reach some resolution,” he said, declining to comment further.
