GCG announces Midwest distribution of Fanuc cobots
GCG, a global value-added distributor of communication and network, automation, OEM and datacenter products, is an authorized Midwest distributor for Fanuc America's CRX line of collaborative robots (cobots). The partnership is designed to expand automation access for small- to medium-sized businesses.
The relationship with Fanuc America enables GCG to focus on the CRX cobot series from initial purchase, system integration and hardware add-ons to ongoing support and optimization throughout the entire ownership experience.
"We are proud to join Fanuc America in this first-of-its-kind CRX-focused distributor relationship in the Midwest," said Michael Mahfet, president of GCG Automation & Factory Solutions. "Our mission is to help businesses of all sizes unlock the potential of automation. Aligning with Fanuc America allows us to deliver industry-leading collaborative robot solutions backed by local support and systems expertise."
"Fanuc's world-class Authorized System Integrators have long been critical to the growth and success of its industrial robot lineup," said Jim Cooper, general manager of U.S. general industry sales at Fanuc America. "Establishing this new sales and support channel ensures that CRX customers, whose projects and applications are often smaller in scale than large industrial enterprises, receive the same high level of expertise, service, and support that Fanuc's industrial customers have come to expect."
Through this relationship, GCG will provide:
- health assessments and optimization for CRX cobot assets
- comprehensive support for the entire CRX system ecosystem
- flexible solutions to meet varying automation needs and expertise levels
- scalable offerings ranging from hardware add-ons to complete turnkey systems.
