Four leading machine builders have joined the Rockwell Automation Machine Builder Program, a program that gives end-users access to skilled machine builders that have proven to deliver high quality and innovative machinery. The Machine Builder Program, part of the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork framework, is designed to give Rockwell Automation customers further confidence that they are working with industry leading machine builders committed to solutions that will help lower their total cost of ownership. To become a part of the PartnerNetwork program, which includes thousands of specialists in industries, applications, geographies, technologies and services around the world, machine builders must demonstrate both innovation and market leadership of machines that incorporate Rockwell Automation solutions.
