The perfect partnership
Machine building and industrial automation now go glove in hand. Between them, they embrace applications such as material handling and robotics, food and beverage, machinery, logistics, motion control and so much more. Collectively, this a vast market of opportunity, even in these times of uncertainty, and hopefully will continue to be so in 2022. On which note, as the countdown begins, we take this moment to wish everyone a happy – and safe – Christmas and New Year.
With best regards
