Fear No Task
The company motto – Fear No Task – goes back four generations for the Rocheleau family. For them, it’s not just a statement. It’s a challenge: to innovate and make better products that bring new benefits to customers. As one of the top manufacturers of blow molding machines for the plastics and packaging industry, this motto has served them well.
Another thing that’s served them well? When they find a provider that consistently delivers the highest quality products, they tend to stick with them.
Rocheleau has been using Mitsubishi Electric controls exclusively since they moved from relay logic systems to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the late 1980s. Mitsubishi Electric controls are in every piece of equipment they produce. And they reliably control every aspect of operation:
- Motors
- Temperature
- Pneumatics
- Hydraulics
- And more
Kevin Hastings, Electrical Engineering Manager, 3rd Generation Co-Owner, and grandson of Rocheleau’s founder, says controls are like tires on a car. “No matter how well you build the car, if you have a flat tire it’s not going to drive down the street.” Kevin says, “Controls are even more important to machines than tires are to cars. If they break down, nothing is going to work at all.”
