Cumulus Welcomes Revolution Group's Plex Practice, Forming the Leading Dedicated Plex Partner

A combination built to last — uniting two of the most experienced Plex teams to expand reach, deepen customer experience and accelerate value for manufacturers.

TROY, Mich., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cumulus Consulting, a category-leading Plex by Rockwell Automation Smart Manufacturing System Integrator, today announced that the Plex practice of Revolution Group will join Cumulus.
