Strategic Acquisition Orbit Motion Systems was recently acquired by Graybar Electric Company through its Advantage Industrial Automation subsidiary, indicating a shift in distribution strength and a potential expansion of buying power, vendor relationships, and larger-scale project opportunities for customers and partners.

Elau Expertise The company positions itself as a premier Elau Systems Integrator with deep capabilities in Elau PacDrive and related controllers, error resolution, upgrades, and on-site training, suggesting strong upsell potential for Elau-based modernization projects and service agreements.

Mid-Market Focus With a small to mid-sized team (11-50 employees) and revenue in the lower-to-mid tens of millions, Orbit presents a cost-effective partner for mid-market manufacturers seeking turnkey automation solutions, spare parts, and rapid support without enterprise-scale procurement complexity.

Service and Training Orbit highlights on-site training, repair services, and turnkey Elau PacDrive solutions, offering cross-sell opportunities for extended maintenance contracts, training bundles for customer staff, and recurring revenue from support and parts.

Automation Modernization The service portfolio includes machine control modernization, robotics, AMR/AGT, EOAT, and upgrades for legacy Elau systems, presenting opportunities to target customers with aging automation stacks for retrofit projects and technology refresh initiatives.
