Control Panel Technology Expo

The Design Ready Controls team has had an exciting start to the year – launching our first Control Panel Technology Expo event at our Brooklyn Park, Minnesota manufacturing facility. This two-day event success provided our customers and suppliers the opportunity to learn more about the control panel technology, processes and advantages of partnering with the Design Ready Controls team. Below is an overview of the event.

Day 1: Control Panel Technology Expo

Day one brought together our dedicated supply chain experts, valued customers, talented team and business partners to learn and share the latest in industry – technology, and processes utilized to execute control panel manufacturing excellence.

We kicked off the event with a lunch and presentation – highlighting the importance each organization and individual person. Together we make building control panels possible and done with high quality, excellence and scale.

Following, suppliers showcased their company event sponsorships and booths set up across our manufacturing floor. We all engaged and learned more about the strengths each brings to the business and overall partnerships.

Day 2: Ice Challenge

Day two was the frozen edge-ice challenge. It expanded the conversations from Day one into a 24-hour Minnesota winter experience of business discussions and ice fishing in one. Although no fish were caught; it provided memorable experiences and built relationships, making business and personal connections.
