Fanuc, EBC

A trip to Fanuc America robotics factory is planned for 2017 Executive Briefing Conference, the high level wood industry management conclave set for April 23-25, 2017 at the Detroit Westin hotel.

Fanuc America offers the most complete range of industry-leading products and services for robotics, computer integrated manufacturing systems, and factory automation solutions.

This unique facility consists of 375,000 square feet and is set on 56 acres along the Clinton River. Manufacturing, Application Labs and training make up 150,000 square feet of the facilities. FANUC Robotics America headquarters provides local product and development as well as 24/7 customer support services.

In November 2016, Fanuc was named one of Michigan’s top 100 workplaces by the Detroit Free Press for the fifth consecutive year, based on employee responses to an independent survey. Companies whose workers expressed satisfaction with workplace advantages such as culture, pay, benefits, and amenities make the top workplace list.

Two other plant tours - Ford Motor's River Rouge Factoty, and JB Cutting's wood components plant - are part of EBC 2017. One of the most valuable aspects for attendees of the Executive Briefing Conference is to take part in exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of some of the industry's most innovative and future-thinking manufacturing facilities. For EBC 2017 tours, we've selected three of America's leaders in manufacturing innovation.

Registration for EBC 2017 is now open. The total investment for this exclusive event is $1395, which includes one registration for the event, two nights of accommodations, all meals and hospitality for the duration of the event and ground transportation during the event.
