UXBRIDGE, MA, JANUARY 12, 2018 – Lenze, a global leader and manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technologies, has been recognized by Automation World magazine as a First Team Leader in Automation in both the drives and the motors categories. The 2017 award recipients were selected based on an unaided-recall survey asking industry professionals to vote for their preferred suppliers.

"We are honored to be recognized by an industry-leading publication like Automation World for a third year in a row in the drive solutions category – and this year, to also add motors to our accolades," said Susan Duval, marketing manager, Lenze Americas.

Automation World asked readers and community-wide industry respondents to identify their preferred automation providers in nearly 50 categories, representing the wide range of automation technologies, software and equipment used by professionals across discrete, batch and continuous process and manufacturing sectors. The survey employed an unaided recall format, so respondents were not provided lists of pre-selected companies.
