Trustworthy, Quality, Responsiveness
I'll be honest. At first, I was skeptical. Due to the global shortages, how could these guys have so much available product? After multiple 5-figure, completed orders, I can attest, these guys are more than legit: they are superb.

Matthew from PLC Exchange has single-handedly averted a deadline disaster at my job. All the products were as advertised - brand new, factory sealed. Multiple times already, I needed more product than they had available on-hand, but PLC Exchange went out of their way to bring in more product so that I could be taken care of.

My regular vendor (a big name company) couldn't get the needed products (Allen Bradley VFDs, for example) for MONTHS. But PLC Exchange made it happen. How? I'm not sure, but I have a theory: The big companies stopped carrying stock. They want all of their orders to go straight to customers so they can maximize their profit at the expense of their customers' time. They claim it's supply chain issues, but the truth is far simpler: they didn't plan ahead. Companies like PLC Exchange understand that sometimes, time is everything, so they planned ahead and ensured they had the parts needed to satisfy their customers' needs.

I highly recommend PLC Exchange. Trustworthy company, quality products, responsive to inquiries and questions. Superb.

Are the products you need “Out of stock”? We have spent years developing relationships to allow us to maintain supply of in demand products, even when they are unavailable locally. We have dedicated out efforts to securing the best deals and lead times on any hard to find products. When the local guys are telling you 3-6 months, we are telling you we can ship today!

Our Top Sellers

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the products sold here genuine?

Yes! The products sold by PLC Exchange are OEM products sourced from our strategic distribution partners that have been acquired over years of industry networking. These are the same products that you purchase from a local or regional distributor.

Do you offer returns and/or warranties with your products?

Absolutely! All “Factory Sealed”, “New/Open Box” and “Refurbished” products come with a one year warranty at no extra cost to you. See our Warranty Information for more details. Additionally, all products also come with a 30-day worry-free return policy where you can return any product for any reason within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. See our Return Policy for more details.

Are you an authorized Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or any other brand distributor?

We are proud to say we are not “authorized” per any formal agreement between PLC Exchange and any product manufacture. This enables us to maintain flexibility on price and direction allowing us to work freely between brands and products without having to deal with outside control.

Why should I trust an online automation distributor?

We are simply changing the way you purchase equipment! Call us; chat live with us; email us; message us; leave a review for all others to see; we offer as many ways as possible to aid in building your trust in our products and services. We encourage customers to leave honest business and product reviews so others can benefit from their experience. We are here to serve you and we offer nothing but transparent services and solutions.

These prices seem too good to be true; my local distributor charges almost twice what you are selling for, how can you afford to offer these prices?

This is all about our strategic relationships and partnerships with various sources from our years of industry networking. Regional and local distributors carry a higher price due to their tremendous overhead costs related to vast networks of services including engineering, design, inside sales, outside sales, training, and more. At PLC Exchange, we are able to hyper-focus on product sales allowing us to maintain low overhead costs and enabling us to pass tremendous discounts on to you.

Do you store your inventory in the USA?

Yes! All of our online inventory is stored locally in our warehouse located in Charlotte, North Carolina. This means all products will ship locally and carry no VAT or import tax or tariffs traditionally found from purchasing from out-of-country competitors.

I don't see what I want or need in stock; can you get other products?

Yes! If there are items you need that are not in stock in our warehouse, you can always request a quote and we will source any product or brand you need. We are able to offer access to the full catalog of Allen-Bradley and Siemens products so please take full advantage of this!

Do you offer any kind of automation support?

Yes! Because of our unique position and experience with the products available at PLC Exchange, we are technically capable of setup, configuration, and installation technical assistance. If you have any questions related to device parameter setup, programmatic configuration, general install or any other product-related questions please contact us by phone, email, live chat, or post a question on our support form
