The Michelin Group has awarded a four-year contract to Rockwell Automation that designates the industrial automation and information company as the preferred provider to all the Michelin Group’s factories worldwide.
The agreement extends to Rockwell Automation’s industrial automation, power, control, industrial software and services. The Michelin Group will use these solutions to gradually leverage performances of their industrial assets, and to design capex machines of new generations.
“Innovation in mobility is at the heart of growth and urban well-being, and Rockwell Automation’s winning technologies make this a reality for Michelin,” said the vice president of capex procurement for The Michelin Group. “We are pleased to designate Rockwell Automation as a preferred partner, resulting from our long, successful partnership. We look forward to Rockwell Automation providing us with the innovative products and high-value solutions that we’ve come to expect.”
“We’re honoured to receive this preferred partner agreement,” said Thomas Donato, Rockwell Automation president Europe, Middle East & Africa. “It caps a 35-year relationship with Michelin marked by innovative collaboration. Thank you to Michelin for being a great customer and partner.”
Rockwell Automation’s global resource network resources include a global account team near Michelin headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, and offices near Michelin plants in Greenville, South Carolina, U.S., and Shanghai. They support day-to-day operations and service to Michelin’s manufacturing facilities.
