Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork program gains new companies

The industrial automation industry has become more complex and dynamic. Companies must work with multiple suppliers and partners to create the most innovative automation solutions. To support this collaborative process, Rockwell Automation has added five new companies to its PartnerNetwork program, and two existing members expanded to serve the EMEA region.

The PartnerNetwork program allows companies to face automation challenges together by providing access to an expansive network of leading suppliers, distributors, system integrators and OEMs.
