KUKA Names BACA Systems OEM Partner of the Year
ORION CHARTER TOWNSHIP, Mich. – BACA Systems earned the first-ever 2019 OEM Partner of the Year award by KUKA Robotics Corp, the U.S.-based arm KUKA AG, the German-based global supplier of intelligent automation solutions.
BACA Systems was named the recipient of the award at the 2019 KUKA Americas Systems Partner Summit earlier this year in Naples, Fla.
“BACA Systems was a clear choice for our first OEM Partner of the Year award,” said Joe Gemma, chief regional officer at KUKA Robotics. “We are honored to have been a key supplier to their solutions for the stone industry for the past 30 years, and we look forward to our continued partnership. With our KR Quantec foundry robots, BACA Systems have created their own innovative automation solutions that are revolutionizing the stone cutting industry.”
Some key partners of KUKA have focused specifically in providing turnkey OEM solutions to a distinct market vertical and have done so successfully. KUKA has decided to start recognizing these leaders in their approach to the market by creating the OEM Partner of the Year award.
Previously, BACA Systems has won KUKA Americas Systems’ Partner of the Year award in both 2017 and 2018.
“We’re honored to be recognized again for our work in the stone cutting industry,” said Chuck Russo, BACA Systems owner and founder. “KUKA’s high-performing and easy-to-use robots allow us to support our customers and meet their needs, making for better service and products.”
BACA Systems is focused on developing innovative fabrication solutions for the countertop industry and is known as a leader in robotic sawjet technology. KUKA is a global automation corporation with sales of around €3.2 billion and around 14,200 employees.
