EDMONTON (PRWeb) January 25, 2007 -- Matrikon, Inc. (TSX: MTK) is one of "the top fifty automation companies in the industry," says Control magazine, the leading journal for the international process control and automation industry, in their December issue. This marks the fifth time the Alberta-based industrial intelligence solutions provider has been so recognized since 2001.

"It has been getting harder and harder to produce a Process Automation Top Fifty for North America," writes Control editor-in-chief Wayne Boyes in his introduction to this year's list. "[The lines are blurring between process, batch and discrete automation, and the automation business, along with all manufacturing, has become increasingly global in scope."

Founded in 1988, Matrikon is an international company, with offices in seven countries providing solutions for managing performance, assets, operations and production to clients in the oil and gas, refining and petrochemical, mining and minerals, power and utilities and pulp and paper industries. Through applications including alarm management, condition based maintenance, production planning, KPI dashboards, advanced process control, control loop optimization and more, Matrikon delivers integrated industrial intelligence.

"Matrikon's continued presence in Control's Top 50 demonstrates our ability to keep pace with a growing industry," says Matrikon President and CEO Amin Rawji. "In an environment of rapid change, we have steadily transitioned, retooled and reformed to successfully grow the company."
