The Ohio-based systems integrator E Tech Group has rebranded E-Volve Systems, the industrial automation firm it acquired in February 2023, under its new parent company’s name.

West Chester, Ohio-based E Tech Group had acquired E-Volve and its Merrimack, New Hampshire, and Cincinnati, Ohio, offices last year for an unnamed sum, saying the combined firms could create a “one-stop shop for advanced automation.”


Now integrated together, E-Volve Systems will now be known as E Tech Group, unifying the two entities under one brand through a “seamless” transition for clients and partners, the company said. “We’ve gained the ability to market and deliver large-scale projects that may not have been available to us before the acquisition due to our size,” Kevin Stout, previous E-Volve Systems founder and president and current vice president at E Tech Group, said in a release. “We’ve also gained a tremendous network of team members whose skillsets seem limitless.”

The united organizations have now developed the capability “to automate every facet of a facility, from process and discrete automation through cybersecurity and data intelligence services, leveraging a team of over 600 automation specialists,” E Tech CEO Matt Wise said.

E Tech’s clients are companies in sectors spanning life sciences, mission critical, food and beverage, manufacturing, and material handling.

NRF: U.S. is on the cusp of nailing a “soft landing” in inflation fight

With the economy slowing but still growing, and inflation down as the Federal Reserve prepares to lower interest rates, the United States appears to have dodged a recession, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF).

“The U.S. economy is clearly not in a recession nor is it likely to head into a recession in the home stretch of 2024,” NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz said in a release. “Instead, it appears that the economy is on the cusp of nailing a long-awaited soft landing with a simultaneous cooling of growth and inflation.”

That came as August's global cargo supply grew at its slowest ratio in 2024 to-date at 2% year-on-year, while global cargo demand continued its double-digit growth, rising +11%.
