Your manufacturing journey is unique. It’s full of challenges, discoveries, and moments of innovation that push you forward.
In 1983, serial number F00016 marked the beginning of our story. Our first FANUC robot was more than equipment; it was a symbol of boldness and curiosity. It represented the endless possibilities we believed we could unlock together.
Today, more than 43 years later, that same spirit continues to drive us. It motivates us to listen more deeply, refine more precisely, and innovate alongside manufacturers because we know that true progress is rooted in relationships, resilience, and shared purpose.
Manufacturing is about the people, the partnerships, and the shared mission to create something that lasts.
When we bought our first FANUC robot, we saw more than machinery. We saw potential. We understood that real progress involves relationships, understanding your challenges and working together to find solutions.
John Burg, Founder – Retired and BOD member at Acieta, reflects:
“That first FANUC robot was a game-changer. It was an investment in the future of manufacturing. It showed us what was possible when technology and people work hand in hand.”
Today, Craig Ulrich, our CEO, reminds us:
“We’re proud of the journey from that first robot to the modern solutions we bring today. Our mission is to help manufacturers innovate, adapt, and succeed in an ever-changing world.”
And to reinforce the importance of partnerships, we share the words from Dick Motley, Director, Authorized System Integrator Network, at FANUC America:
“Our collaboration with Acieta has always been about empowering manufacturers to achieve more, delivering innovative solutions that keep them competitive today and prepared for tomorrow.”
For more than four decades, we’ve been side by side with manufacturers, listening, learning, and evolving together. We believe building a legacy is not a solo effort. It’s rooted in curiosity, resilience, and a shared commitment to your craft.
This Friday, on Manufacturing Day, we celebrate everyone pushing boundaries; every team, every shift, every idea shaping what’s next. We are proud to stand with you and help turn your challenges into growth opportunities.
As we look to the future, our story is still being written. It’s a story fueled by the innovators, dreamers, and problem-solvers who shape what’s next.
Our journey started with one robot, but it’s a story still being written by manufacturers like you.
