A Bronze Start to a Big Future

We’re proud to share that TRACT Tooling & Automation is now a Bronze Member of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3)! As of February 2025, we’ve officially joined the largest automation trade association in North America — and we were recently featured in their LinkedIn new member spotlight.

This is a huge milestone for us as a young company and a sign of the long-term commitment we’re making to this industry and community.

Why We Joined A3

TRACT was founded to help manufacturers across the Americas access high-performance, affordable robotic tooling for grinding, sanding, deburring, and weld shaving.

By joining A3, we’re not only aligning ourselves with an incredible network of integrators, manufacturers, and technologists — we’re also pledging to contribute to the conversations shaping the future of smart manufacturing.

A3 plays a vital role in:

  • Promoting industry standards
  • Hosting essential events and training
  • Advocating for the role of automation in the economy
  • Helping young companies like TRACT grow with guidance and community

More Than Just a Badge

We’re starting as a Bronze Member, but we don’t plan to stay there. Our hope is to scale our involvement as our business grows — eventually stepping into Silver, Gold, or Platinum status, and participating in A3’s thought leadership and industry initiatives.

“Being part of A3 isn’t just a stamp of approval. It’s a commitment to being part of something bigger — a movement toward smarter, safer, and more productive automation systems throughout the Americas.”

We’d like to thank the A3 team for the warm welcome, and we’re incredibly grateful to those in the community who’ve already made us feel at home.

Let’s Build the Future Together

If you’re a manufacturer, system integrator, or automation enthusiast, we’d love to connect. Whether it’s through an upcoming A3 event, our product catalog, or a shared passion for building better systems — let’s work together.

Welcome to the future of robotic material removal.

Welcome to TRACT.
