History

Northeast Controls was originally established by Daniel J. Dinzik. Previously, Dan had worked for several years as a sales representative for the Fisher Representative in New York city. In 1967, Dan was appointed as the exclusive representative in Eastern New York, Western Massachusetts, and Southern Vermont for the Fisher Governor Company and incorporated Northeast Controls in the Albany, NY, area. Northeast Controls' representation of Fisher, process control expertise, and local customer service support contributed to the company's continued growth and success in the 1970's and 1980's. In 1985, Michael J. Peters purchased control of the company, and in 1987, the company acquired the territorial responsibility of Process Management Inc. of Buffalo, New York, extending Northeast Controls' geographic coverage to include all of Western New York state. In 1992, Emerson Electric purchased Fisher Controls, and in 2001 the Fisher-Rosemount brand name was changed to Emerson Process Management.

In January 2008, David J. Rizzo was appointed as the third President of Northeast Controls. An Upstate New York native, David is a 1985 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and has served in sales and executive leadership roles with Northeast Controls since 1996.
