Franklin Empire Launches New Assembly Centre for Siemens MCCs

June 9, 2016

A recent VIP industrial event hosted by Franklin Empire in Montreal highlighted the launch of their new assembly centre for Siemens motor control centres (MCCs).

Franklin Empire’s new partnership with Siemens to assemble its motor control centres in their Montreal shop enables the company to bring the product to market with lead times of under 10 days.

Along with seminars about Siemens MCCs, the evening included a tour of Franklin’s Electro-Mecanik Playford shop, tabletop demonstrations from key industrial suppliers (Siemens, Appleton, Schmersal, Fluke, Hammond Power, T&B, Mersen, Milwaukee, GE, Leviton & Weidmuller), and networking opportunities with Franklin Empire specialists, account managers and management team.

The event was a huge success attracting almost 200 people.
