POSTED 09/15/2010
Readers of Control Design, the only industrial automation magazine dedicated to the automation information needs of industrial machine builders, have voted Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division the number-one supplier of linear actuators. The winners were announced today in the magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
Automation supplier companies were chosen by Control Design’s machine-builder and system-integrator subscribers who specify, recommend or buy industrial automation and control products; vendors were not eligible to vote.
“In this highly competitive landscape, it's a great honor to be named the best in class by the people who matter the most,” says Ben Furnish, linear products manager for Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division. “It's also great to see that the Parker WIN Strategy is paying off with customer satisfaction through high-quality products capable of excellent positioning specifications.” Parker’s WIN Strategy focuses employees on financial performance, customer service and profitable growth, ensuring the company's continued success.
