Motion control and nanopositioning application solutions expert PI (Physik Instrumente) is celebrating a second consecutive year of recognition at the 2017 Motion and Control Industry (MCI) Awards, receiving finalist status last month for Manufacturer of the Year and Contribution to Skills and Training at the award ceremony held at the National Conference Centre, near Birmingham, UK. PI was awarded MCI’s 2016 Manufacturer of the Year — which recognizes both individuals and companies as the best of the best in the motion control industry.

Commitment to partnership and training in motion control

The continued recognition in the field of motion control is based on the company’s successful partnership approach of working closely with its customers to build long-term, trusted relationships that help customers realize the true potential of precision motion and control. Coupled with a commitment to empower customers thru free Lunch and Learn education sessions, PI earned the award status for professional training and skills development.

“The talk was pitched in such a way that it was accessible to everyone … if only all high tech companies were so forward thinking and supportive of the field in which they work,” commented professor Steve Dixon from the Centre for Industrial Ultrasonics, Department of Physics and School of Engineering at the University of Warwick, on a Lunch and Learn session.

PI has in-house engineered solutions with over four decades of experience working with customers to provide products that meet application demands, and can quickly modify existing product designs or provide a fully customized OEM part to fit the exact requirements of the application.
