Humble Beginnings

In 1989, the business was formed in the Lafayette, LA area as American Pneumatics, Inc. The name was based on the common pneumatic control systems back then and so the acronym would match the American Petroleum Institute, specifically the standards that govern offshore safety systems (and something starting with "A" would be at the beginning of the phone book).

Name Change

 

Business grew and was successful in adapting to newer technology. Traditional pneumatic control systems transitioned to electronic control systems, allowing operators to remotely monitor/control facilities, trend data, and optimize production.  Power and lighting, hydraulic power units, chemical injection packages, and many other products and services were being provided. Therefore, it was past time for a name change. In 2004 the business was renamed API Control System Solutions. "API" was kept for name recognition and to continue referencing the HSE critical API standards and recommended practices.

Ownership & Focus

​ 

API was acquired by Danos in 2014. In the spring of 2019, during an industry downturn, long-time employees were blessed with an opportunity to acquire the business. The name was simplified to API Control Systems.
