Who we are
Midwest Integration & Automation is an Ohio-based industrial automation company. Founded in 2007 by Bruce Hayes, we've grown into a 100+ person team across three Ohio facilities — without losing the family-run culture that built us.
Our Story
Midwest Integration & Automation was founded in 2007 by Bruce Hayes — working out of the family home in Wadsworth, alongside his wife Liz and her sister Sue Glymph. It was the worst recession of a lifetime and the least obvious moment to start a business, but the automation industry needed what Bruce believed in: honest engineering and undivided attention.
Nearly two decades later, we've grown to over 100 employees across three Ohio facilities totaling 55,000+ square feet. Bruce and Liz's sons Dan and Sam are now President and Senior Electrical Engineer. In late 2025 we welcomed Comtec Inc. into the family, expanding our integration capabilities at our Twinsburg location.
We've grown, but the values haven't changed. We deliver efficient, cost-effective, high-quality solutions — with the technical depth of a large competitor and the responsiveness of a family-run shop.
Leadership & sales
What we stand for
No absentee ownership, no layers of management between you and a decision. Direct access to leadership is the default, not the exception.
We don't just sell parts or ship panels — we apply them. Every order gets factory-trained engineering review, not a catalog lookup.
Our three facilities are all in Ohio. Every panel, every integration, every distributed component is backed by on-site engineering — and the plant-floor experience to apply it.
