item North America (Akron,Ohio) has recently been selected to participate in the Rockwell Automation Encompass Program, Americas.

The Rockwell Automation Encompass Program is a third-party product referencing program which can provide a single point of access to the dynamic, powerful alliance between Rockwell Automation and proven, trusted partners.

Through Encompass, Rockwell can identify, qualify and jointly market third-party manufactured products that complement the wide breadth of products – products with proven interoperability to insure total customer satisfaction and the best possible solution for applications.

This resource-rich combination of Rockwell Automation and global, regional and local service partners ensures that users have greater flexibility, productivity and lower total cost of ownership – and the confidence that comes from knowing you are working with premier global suppliers.

Rockwell Automation is a five billion dollar company with world headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Over 20,000 employees provide products and services in more than eighty countries world wide.

Rockwell’s area of focus includes helping manufacturers succeed and grow by providing industrial automation control and information solutions designed to increase competitive advantage.

End users and machine builders (OEMs) alike rely upon Rockwell’s comprehensive portfolio of products, software and services to deliver value and meet the objectives of faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership, better asset management/optimization and broader manufacturer business risk management.

Program approval now means that item will participate in thirteen Complete Automation On The Move (CAOTM) regional trade shows which attract over 800 new customers each as well as an annual Automation Fair (10,000 new customers each) annually.

Other benefits in the Encompass Program include world wide exposure on the Rockwell Automation website, listings in the Rockwell Automation Encompass Program Product Directory, advertising in Rockwell publications, use of the Rockwell Encompass Program logo and alignment with the “best of industry” companies in North America.
