Rankin Automation recently hosted the Festo Expotainer Mobile Display Unit. This 53 foot rolling showroom includes working demos of Festo's vast array of Automation Technologies. During the visit we conducted a drawing for an Apple iPad.
Our winner, Andrew Hollingshead, was presented his iPad by Rankin's own Jim Bonner. Congratulations Andrew, and thank you to all those who visited the Mobile Display Unit.
