Dear AutomationDirect customer,
One of our ongoing efforts here at AutomationDirect is to optimize prices on our range of industrial control products, whether well-recognized or private brands. We continue to evaluate vendor adjustments as they occur, and press for price reductions where possible as well as minimize price increases. We continue to provide advance notice of these changes.
This notice is to inform you that, effective September 2, 2026, price changes will take effect across certain parts in several product categories, impacting approximately 20% of our inventory. The overall average price increase for the affected parts is 6.9%.
Some products will receive price decreases, including parts within the following groups: power connection products, AC motors, and light curtains.
Product lines experiencing average price increases include small average adjustments of 1% to 5% on limited parts in discrete sensors, enclosure thermal management, relays, temperature sensors, and electrical safety devices.
Average increases of 5% to 10% apply to products in categories such as pneumatic components, cut-to-length cable, tools, motor controls, DC gearmotors, certain brands of AC motors, pilot devices, and safety controllers.
Price increases above 10% primarily affect certain products in categories such as fuses, vacuum products, cable, wire termination devices, and mechanical products.
