Festo names Motor Technology as a new System Integrator
Festo has appointed Motor Technology Ltd, a servo and motion control specialist, as one of its system integrators. This is the latest move by Festo to expand its presence in the electrical drives and controls market. Under the terms of the agreement, Festo will provide Motor Technology with marketing and pre-sales support, as well as technical training, for the company's growing range of electrical automation products.
Based in Stockport, Motor Technology is a leading supplier of motion control components and systems. Nigel Dawson, Festo's Drives Manager, says: "Motor Technology is renowned for its expertise in precision high-speed servo systems. It has an impeccable track record going back some 22 years, and has acquired a considerable reputation for providing its customers with unbiased technical advice, quality automation solutions and highly trained support. These attributes make the company an ideal fit for our System Integrators Programme."
Motor Technology's Managing Director, Andrew Fallows, is delighted with the new partnership agreement: "We pride ourselves on providing our customers with the best technical and cost-effective motion control systems at our disposal. Having direct access to Festo electrical automation components will help us shorten system build times, and tighter links with Festo's technical training facilities should benefit both companies' customers."
