At Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company, we’re proud to support our customers with industry-leading solutions that deliver performance, reliability, and innovation. That’s why we’re excited to share the latest development from our trusted partners at HMS Networks — N-Tron® is now an official product brand under HMS Networks, following the 2024 acquisition of Red Lion Controls Inc.
Two Trusted Brands, One Unified Vision
Since the acquisition, the HMS and Red Lion teams have worked seamlessly to integrate their technologies, expertise, and support networks. The result is a more streamlined, powerful portfolio of industrial connectivity solutions — now operating under two strong and recognizable brands: Red Lion and N-Tron.
N-Tron® by HMS Networks will carry forward a long-standing legacy of rugged, industrial-grade Ethernet switches built to perform in demanding environments. For industries that rely on secure, stable, and high-throughput networks — including manufacturing, utilities, food and beverage, water/wastewater, and transportation — N-Tron products remain a reliable choice.
