A partnership contract has recently been signed by the Chinese textile machine manufacturer Pacific Group, Shanghai, China and the automation specialist Bernecker + Rainer (B&R) Ges.m.b.H., Eggelsberg Austria. The contract elevates B&R to the status of exclusive supplier for all automation solutions for the textile machine manufacturer. B&R will provide various types of support in addition to controllers, drives, PCs and customer-specific visualization systems.
