I love the “Don’t Gamble With Your Automation” tag line Carolina Fluid Components is using to promote their booth at the ATX South Show. Hopefully if you’re in the Southeast you’ll hedge your bets and find your way over to the show in Charlotte, NC, March 11 and 12 (register for free at atxsouth.com). We will be exhibiting in CFC’s booth, #2007.

Just look for the booth staff wearing bow ties and you’ll find us. QC Industries will be exhibiting alongside our friends from Epson, Piab, Clippard, 80/20, Norgren, Euchner, Leuze, Exlar, MTS, Baumer and Parker-Origa.

As you may have guessed, CFC’s booth will feature a gambling theme and many of us will have gambling related fun going on in our booths. I have seen the Epson craps table, and it is one you’ll definitely want to come check out and try your luck. Oh and while your having fun you’ll see a new thing or two to drive your business — you can bet on it!

Over the last two weeks, we invited our distributors throughout the world  to our headquarters to learn more about our new Automation Series conveyors so that they’ll be best prepared to help our customers in the field. With such a widespread distributor base, it’s not often we get to see our friends from far-flung places, even though we talk to many of them on a daily basis. So, we were thrilled so many of them were able to make it to our place and share in the excitement of these new conveyors.

Throughout the training sessions we gave away a series of door prizes. Congratulations to Patty Beaury of PRB who won the 42″ LCD TV and to the following GPS winners:

• Roger Leep of Industrial Control
• Ed Jarnac of Carolina Fluid Components
• Dave Marcellus of HS Assembly
• Dave Shaarda of Conveyer & Caster Equipment for Industry
