abco automation, an integrator of distribution solutions, announces the addition of Dematic as a strategic partner. Dematic, a provider or warehouse logistics automation technology, will provide key components for the warehouse solutions offered by abco. 
When asked about the abco automation and Dematic partnership, Cory Flemings, VP of Sales for abco automation said, “abco automation is not just another systems integration house; we bring specialized product-to-person expertise steeped in over 10 years of working with European systems integrators. Partnering with Dematic will allow us to do this in our time zone, in English and with an American supplier who can supply spare parts right out of Kentucky. We bring the efficiency of European distribution concepts to American-built technologies.”
“abco automation doesn’t believe that one technology fits all SKUs. Working with the Pareto Curve, we apply different technologies to different product velocities which yields ‘more bang for your distribution buck.’ Most system integrators use a one-technology-fits-all philosophy which doesn’t take advantage of the natural imbalances that exist within SKU movement.
“Without a strong technology partner like Dematic, we couldn’t do what we do. abco automation is extremely pleased that we have been selected to be a Dematic partner; there isn’t another partner out there who can offer what Dematic does.” Flemings said.
When asked about the relationship, Steven Buccella, VP Corporate Sales and Business Development said, “We believe our partnership will be mutually advantageous. We both bring something unique to the partnership and are very excited about the future synergy between Dematic and abco automation.”
