Parkinson Technologies Joins Rockwell Automation Partner Network
August 12, 2009
Woonsocket, RI
Parkinson Technologies Inc. is please to announce it has joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™. As part of the Machine Builders segment of this network, Parkinson has joined a select group of OEM's that have combined their strengths with Rockwell Automation to offer superior technology solutions to its customers.
Parkinson Technologies utilizes Allen-Bradley® brand controls from Rockwell Automation as a standard offering on its line of Marshall & Williams extrusion systems, Parkinson winders, and Dusenbery slitter/rewinders.
"The Allen-Bradley brand controls from Rockwell Automation are a strong selling feature for our machinery," said Stephen Montalto, Director of Sales & Marketing for Parkinson Technologies. Montalto pointed out the high level of interest in the company's newest product, the Genesis 700 slitter/rewinder, which was introduced at the NPE 2009 show in June. One of the attention-getting standards of the new product was that it featured an Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 700 human-machine interface (HMI), top-level technology on a value-based machine.
"Joining the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork will help Parkinson Technologies improve its technical competency and customer support, and help us take full advantage for the sales, marketing and engineering resources available from Rockwell Automation," said Montalto. "Together, we can deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers anywhere in the world. This partnership will ultimately help our customers be more productive, and more profitable."
