Patrick Harlan started EXPRO Controls in 2022. Prior to the founding EXPRO Controls, he had spent decades as an outside sales representative. Patrick throughout that time acquired in depth knowledge on valves, instrumentation, heat trace, and leak detection. That knowledge is used every day at EXPRO Controls to help service our industrial and commercial customers.

Other than being the President and Owner of EXPRO Patrick impacts EXPRO in three unique ways. First, he creates heat trace designs that are precise and accurate. Second, he manages the sales force and gives in depth instruction and analysis of the industries and territories we service. Third, he performs technical services, such as calibration and start-up services. Patrick truly is a one-man utility knife!

When Patrick Harlan isn’t focused on the growth of the company, he is a doting husband and loving father to three kids. His free time is spent listening to podcasts that grab his interest on two times speed. He also, enjoys tinkering with anything mechanical or electrical, from vehicles to building boxcars for his children.
