As of May 1, 2026, Automation Solutions, Inc. (ASI) officially joins Livingston & Haven, expanding our shared commitment to serving manufacturers across the Southeast.
Every great company begins with a spark. For Automation Solutions, that spark was ignited by Brad Tompkins’ passion for engineering and his frustration with corporate environments that prioritized profits over people. After witnessing these flaws, Brad launched a successful home-building business, only for it to falter during the 2008 financial crisis. It was then he returned to his true passion for automation.
This partnership strengthens our shared commitment to delivering innovative automation solutions, exceptional customer support, and long-term value for the industries we serve. As “A Livingston & Haven Company,” ASI will continue providing the trusted service and expertise our customers know—now backed by an even stronger network of engineering, service, and support across the Southeast.
With more than 75 years of experience, Livingston & Haven brings deep expertise in fluid power, automation, motion control, engineered systems, fabrication, and industrial training. Together, ASI and Livingston & Haven provide expanded engineering capabilities, broader service coverage, and stronger technical resources throughout the region.
More than half of our leaders have been promoted from within—a reflection of our commitment to nurturing talent and aligning people with purpose. And when things get busy, our leaders roll up their sleeves too, whether that means helping write proposals, visiting client sites, or mentoring rising team members.
In the early years, everyone on the small team wore many hats, which was both exciting and challenging. Brad focused on building strong relationships rather than expanding too quickly. Over time, we built a stronger framework, adding layers of leadership while keeping the freedom that makes work enjoyable.

Brad started Automation Solutions in Birmingham, Alabama, with a small team and a bold idea: that doing the right thing, putting people first and focusing on long-lasting quality, would lead to better results for everyone.
