Muskogee-based Advantage Controls, a manufacturer of industrial water control technology, has recently seen its chief executive acknowledge a protracted business connection. The company, which has grown significantly since its inception in 1994, operates out of the Muskogee Industrial Park, encompassing over 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
Advantage Controls, founded by Dick Morris and his son Chris Morris, has been under the leadership of CEO Dan Morris since 1995. The firm manufactures water quality instrumentation and controllers, including its signature MegaTron and MegaTron SS models, alongside the NanoTron and MicroTron series. Their equipment is deployed across multiple continents, with the notable exception of Antarctica.
The company's operational footprint includes a sister company, Advantage TerraFab, and collectively they employ approximately 150 individuals in Muskogee. Advantage Controls maintains a strong working relationship with the Industrial Development Office at the Port of Muskogee, a collaboration Morris credits for the company's growth.
