Red Lion® and N-Tron® – now official product brands by HMS Networks

Automation engineers and system integrators to benefit from an expanded HMS offering – a one-stop-shop for industrial communication on hms-networks.com.

HMS Networks now announces that Red Lion and N-Tron are officially product brands “by HMS Networks.” For thousands of automation engineers and system integrators all over the world, this means that scalable industrial solutions for cloud connectivity, edge intelligence, asset management, industrial Ethernet switches, panel meters and operator panels are now available from one trusted source, presented on hms-networks.com.

Following the 2024 acquisition of Red Lion Controls Inc., HMS and Red Lion teams have worked together to seamlessly integrate their offerings. The result: two trusted brands — Red Lion and N-Tron — now under the HMS umbrella, offering enhanced value and streamlined access to industrial connectivity solutions.

Unified brands, expanded capabilities

  • Red Lion® by HMS Networks will offer scalable industrial solutions for cloud connectivity, edge intelligence, asset management, as well as rugged operator panels and panel meters—designed to deliver real-time data visibility, especially in demanding environments.
  • N-Tron® by HMS Networks will focus on rugged industrial Ethernet switches, providing secure, reliable connectivity for industrial networking.

What does this mean for HMS Networks and legacy Red Lion customers?

Existing HMS and Red Lion customers will continue to enjoy their trusted purchasing channels and integration partners. Now, they will benefit from a wider, more integrated product offering. 

For example:

  • Red Lion control panels can be paired with remote access solutions from Ewon®.
  • N-Tron switches will complement HMS’s robust offerings in network connectivity and diagnostics.
