Foxboro, Mass., USA (PRWEB) October 30, 2006 -- The Houston Business Journal recognized Invensys as one of the "Best Places to Work in Houston" at an awards ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Houston on October 12, 2006.

Invensys is one of a small number of non-Houston-based companies selected for this honor.

•    Team effectiveness
•    Retention risk
•    Alignment with goals
•    Trust with coworkers
•    Individual contribution
•    Manager effectiveness
•    Trust in senior leaders
•    Feeling valued

Invensys' new 93,000 square foot Houston facility on Equity Drive in the Westway Office Park consolidates previously separate local offices for Invensys' Foxboro, SimSci-Esscor, and Avantis product groups. While Invensys' Triconex group has retained its existing offices in Webster, TX, a number of Triconex people also work in Houston. Approximately 200 Invensys employees currently work at Invensys' Houston facility.

"Invensys' employees are clearly among the most knowledgeable and talented people in the industrial automation industry," commented Ginny Burnell, vice president of North American operations. "We've focused on creating a dynamic, personally rewarding, worker-friendly environment for our employees here in Houston and at our other facilities around the world.
