Who relies on Think-PLC as their control panel shop?
“You guys have this insight that a typical panel building shop that’s just building panels and going off of a set of prints, for the most part, they don’t have design capabilities and the product knowledge. But you guys have that and it’s a big strength that we look for in a cabinet shop because it gives us the ability to pivot and really hone in and make an electrical cabinet function as best as it can before it’s actually mounted up to a machine.”Conan Stoehr, Solutions Partner Manager
“The culture and the ease to work with… They’re more than a panel builder, they’ll run cable, do the programming, the electrical drawings and all of that… It was just a can-do attitude. Nothing was really a problem. We can come up with a solution mentality… Think’s ability to problem solve and troubleshoot on the fly is one of their biggest assets… There was a trust from both sides because they knew their stuff.”
Stephen Nolan, Technical Director
“But for the most part, if it’s a random project out there I’m calling Bobby… I know that if Bobby works on the project, it’s going to be done and it will be done right.”Ed Montgomery, Food & Beverage Industry Manager
