Steeplechase announces partnership with OEM/systems integrator in Mexico
"Icesa-Modicon is a combination OEM (machine builder in the areas of welding and transport), systems integrator, and local maintenance contract-type relationship," says Jeff Fisher, general manager of the Steeplechase Software Division.
Icesa-Modicon has eight offices - seven in Mexico and one in the United States - with corporate offices in Tlalnepantla, Mexico. Its business areas include turn-key project integration for the automotive industry, material handling, resistance welding, distribution of industrial products, and maintenance programs.
Icesa-Modicon has more than 200 employees and 80 engineering specialists dedicated to developing innovative solutions. Key Icesa-Modicon engineers have been supplied with necessary tools and have been trained to support Steeplechase PC-based control.
Icesa-Modicon will entertain support contracts at major automotive end users in Mexico, including DaimlerChrysler, American Axle, General Motors, and Volkswagen to provide onsite support, start-up assistance, and phone support.
"We are pleased to offer our support to current Steeplechase projects in Guanajuato, Saltillo, and Toluca here in Mexico," says Thomas Patton, VP of Icesa-Modicon. "Our control engineers were very impressed by the Steeplechase PC-based control and flow chart programming training program."
