UXBRIDGE, MA, January 11, 2019 - Lenze Americas, a global leader and manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technologies, has been recognized by Automation World as a First Team Leader in Automation in both the drives and motors categories. The 2018 award recipients were selected based on an unaided-recall survey asking industry professionals to vote for their preferred suppliers.

"We're honored to be recognized in the 8th Annual Leadership in Automation Program. As our fourth consecutive recognition for drives and the second for motors, we've once again proven the value our solutions bring to the industry and we look forward to continuing to serve the industry in the years to come," said Susan Duval, senior marketing communications manager.

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.
