Small team, broad capabilities Despite a micro headcount, Russ Johnson Engineering covers end-to-end control engineering, PLC programming (Allen Bradley, Modicon, GE, Omron), HMI integration, robotics, pneumatics and hydraulics, CAD drafting, and field service — presenting a one-stop automation partner for turnkey projects.

Automation expertise Strong focus on control systems design and integration across multiple brands and hardware platforms, signaling capability to handle diverse plant automation upgrades, retrofits, and new line implementations for manufacturing customers.

Tech stack leverage Utilizes Windows-based server and web technologies (ASP.NET, IIS) alongside AutoCAD for engineering output, enabling potential cross-sell of software-driven workflow improvements, remote monitoring, and cloud-connected maintenance solutions.

Mid-market potential Reported revenue range of one to ten million and a network of peers with larger design firms indicates opportunity to engage mid-market manufacturing customers seeking specialized automation design and field service without engaging larger, less flexible firms.

Golf course design peers Industry overlap with golf course design firms suggests strategic entry points into leisure or amenity-focused manufacturing segments, where automation for equipment, maintenance, or course operations could be relevant, especially given related peers’ scale in service and project delivery.
