September 25, 2008 -- In recognition of the company’s outstanding performance in 2007 across the Asia Pacific region, world-leading industrial automation control and information solutions provider Rockwell Automation was honored with the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Industrial Technologies Award for Asia Pacific PLC Company of the Year.
The 2008 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Industrial Technologies Awards honor the outstanding performance of companies contributing to the Industrial Automation and Process Control, Electronics and Security, Energy and Power Systems, and Chemicals, Materials and Foods industries, as well as new and emerging technologies across these industry sectors.
“With the first products rolling out of our R&D center in Shanghai and our Singapore Business Center, Rockwell Automation is pleased to provide Asia Pacific locally produced, market-leading technology,” said Dave Johnson, Vice President, Rockwell Automation, Asia Pacific Business Center. “These awards are an invaluable way to evaluate and commend the efforts of companies striving to help businesses grow in the region, and Rockwell Automation is thrilled to receive this recognition.”
The Industrial Technologies Award is Rockwell Automation’s fourth consecutive Best Practices Award from Frost & Sullivan. Last year, Rockwell Automation’s efforts earned the company an award for Brand Leadership and Service Support Leadership in the PLCs Market and Channel Support Leadership in the HMI Market. In previous years, it received the Customer Service Leadership Award and, in 2006, CEO, Keith D. Nosbusch, was awarded with the CEO Lifetime Achievement Award in the Industrial Automation and Control Space.
“As the economies of Asia Pacific continue to develop at an extraordinary pace, companies here will increasingly have to look to innovative solutions to add value and provide a competitive edge,” said David Hegarty, Marketing Director, Integrated Architecture, Rockwell Automation Asia Pacific. “As one of the world’s largest companies solely dedicated to automation, we understand what is needed to make businesses more competitive, and are proud to receive the recognition.”
