Subscribers of Automation World magazine chose ABB and Baldor as their “first Team” supplier for AC/DC motors in the Leadership in Automation program sponsored by the publication.

Automation professionals were invited to vote for their favorite automation vendors in an unaided-recall survey, meaning that voters were not prompted with any pre-selected companies.

“We are proud to be recognized as a “First Team” honoree in this annual leadership program,” says Jesse Henson, Director of Product Management for Baldor motors. “It’s gratifying to know that automation professionals chose us as their favorite automation vendor in the AC/DC motor category, and we appreciate their support and confidence in our company and products.”

Automation World, a leading business magazine serving automation professionals, launched this program in 2013. First Team honorees will be recognized in the magazine’s January 2014 issue.
