Industrial automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas recently announced the 2017 fiscal year's winners of the Distributor of the Year award at its FY18 Sales Conference. Over 650 persons representing Omron and its channel partners participated in the event, which included new technology presentations, product training, business planning and team building activities.
The sales conference was an Americas event, with attendees hailing from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and other Latin American countries. The four top-performing channel partners honored at the event represented three different countries and were chosen based on criteria including revenue growth, local engagement, expertise and solution selling.
Mark Sadie, Omron's Vice President of U.S. and Strategic Sales, presented the U.S. awards. "It was great to see two of our larger channel partners embrace the new technologies and channel programs introduced during the past two years and achieve great success in our FY17," said Sadie.

We have 12 application engineers who support our trained outside and inside sales teams, and our success stems from our ability to create market share. Omron's vast product offering, continuous introduction of new innovative products, superior factory support and commitment to the highest quality makes them a perfect partner. We are proud to be named Omron's U.S. Distributor of the Year for 2017."
