System Integrator Finds the Perfect Partner in FANUC

Sometimes a long-standing and business-critical working relationship develops almost by chance. In this case, when a major customer expressed a preference for FANUC robots, leading UK system integrator ALS Mechatronic was prompted away from its existing robot suppliers. Five years later, the company is truly glad about the situation, as FANUC and ALS Mechatronic have established a highly fruitful and rewarding business partnership that today benefits a broad spread of the company’s end users all around the world.
