Rockwell Automation acquires Maverick Technologies

18 November, 2016

Rockwell Automation believes the acquisition significantly strengthens its knowhow in key process and batch applications to help its customers realise greater productivity and improved global competitiveness through process control and information management solutions.

“Industrial control and information solutions are most effective when they result from close collaboration between a knowledgeable supplier and the user,” said Ken Champa, Rockwell Automation senior vice president of control products and solutions. “The combination of our global industrial automation leadership with Maverick’s platform-independent domain expertise will help our customers reduce complexity and realise unprecedented productivity.”

Growth strategy

The acquisition supports the Rockwell Automation growth strategy to help customers increase global competitiveness by adopting The Connected Enterprise – a vision that connects information across the plant floor with the entire enterprise to drive new business value. This, the company maintains, is particularly important to process customers whose uptime and continuous performance are critical.

“We will continue to deliver our domain expertise, now with the power of a Fortune 500 industrial automation leader at our side,” said Paul Galeski, Maverick founder and CEO. “This creates the best combination available to help uncover the benefits of information that drives performance in process industries.”

Maverick is located in Columbia, Illinois, with 21 locations in the US and over 300 engineers and technical salespeople.
