Rockwell in China?

David Gordon Posted On September 28, 2007

Every once in a while life has those humorous moments and we thought this might give you a smile.

Wednesday’s tedmag.com newsletter had the following snippet:

ROCKWELL IN CHINA—Rockwell Automation has reported that it will realize 20% revenue growth in China this year and next, according to a Reuters report. That’s on top of double-digit growth the company reportedly has experienced in China in each of the past four years.

From an RA viewpoint, diversification is good, not only for the company but also for its customers who may want to standardize on Rockwell products “worldwide”.

Rumor is that residents of China Grove were also interested in this news and wanted to

celebrate, so they posted a sign on I-85 in North Carolina.

And yes, there is a China Grove, NC as well as a Rockwell, NC. The two cities are about 10 miles, or 20 minutes, apart.

How is that for a coincidence?

Enjoy your weekend!!
