Our History

The Early Days

Recognizing the rapid migration of personal computers to the factory floor, ACC introduced OP/Station in 1987 as a means of protecting PCs in harsh environments. Our original product, the “OP/Station Blue” 900-Series, rapidly became a recognizable mainstay in many manufacturing environments.

As the market matured, our customers began asking for different form factors and options. From tilt-and-swivel monitors to stainless steel construction for our food and pharmaceutical customers, OP/Station introduced several new products each year including our unique 300-Series workstation and the extremely popular 900SS.

Our History

OP/Station Plus – Hardware Integration

By the end of the 1990’s, OP/Station was recognized as the leader in industrial workstation hardware integration, designing custom workstation solutions to meet clients' specific application needs at prices and deliveries more closely associated with standard products.

Our History

Present Day

In 2003, OP/Station became UL-certified, solidifying our position as a leader in industrial workstations for hazardous areas. Today’s OP/Station is a result of our proud history.
