SMC Wins Control Design Magazine's 2012 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Pneumatic Components

Noblesville, IN, October 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Control Design magazine reserved voting to eligible machine-builders and system-integrators, making sure to disallow automation suppliers, in an unaided ballot by not providing any list of vendors or product brands from which to choose from. The Readers’ Choice Award ballot asked voters to identify the company and its products that they rate of best technology value, and is then followed-up with rating the company’s service and support.

“It is truly an honor to be given this award from the industrial machine-builders and system-integrators community, which have shown their loyalty to SMC products, but conversely this loyalty may wane should performance and quality not meet their continued expectations. The Control Design, Readers’ Choice Award for Best Pneumatic Component manufacturer is an objective to strive to repeat every year.”
