Market
Factory automation across discrete and process manufacturing in Asia-Pacific, spanning robotics, motion, vision and control. Growth is concentrated in the least-consolidated mid-market segment, where collaborative robotics is reaching price points that unlock new demand — the segment where Meridian's portfolio is best positioned but its APAC field coverage is thinnest.
