Scallon Controls is Now an "Official Partner" of Lamar University Athletics

September 3, 2024
Scallon Controls has entered into a three-year partnership with Lamar University Athletics. Lamar is one of the fastest-growing universities in Texas and one of seven institutions that are part of The Texas State University System. This alliance represents a significant milestone for Scallon Controls in support of the company’s commitment to the local community and further strengthens its ties with Lamar. In addition to hiring many Lamar graduates, Scallon has been a long-time supporter of hands-on education by supplying industrial automation products for academic use. The Athletics partnership package includes football, basketball, and baseball season tickets for events, game-day activities, and other collaborative initiatives. Scallon will also be the “Official Game Sponsor” of the November 2nd football game. 
According to Jeff O’Malley, Director of Athletics, “Scallon Controls has made a huge impact in Beaumont and throughout the Southeast Texas region. We anticipate that this partnership will help expand their business beyond their current footprint. They have been a part of the Cardinal Athletics family long before this partnership, as so many of their employees and colleagues are Lamar University alumni. They have a history of creating opportunities for our student-athletes in the workforce and will continue to work alongside us to help develop the next generation of Lamar graduates. Please join us in officially welcoming Scallon Controls to the Cardinal Family.”
 
Joe Herink, President of Scallon Controls expresses his gratitude, “As we join forces with Cardinal Athletics, we look forward to continuing our legacy of fostering growth and creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders. Together, we’ll drive progress in the Golden Triangle and beyond.”
