On March 11, 2014, German industrial robot manufacturer KUKA opened its new Asian factory in Songjiang, Shanghai. The plant has an annual production capacity of 5,000 robots, which will significantly increase KUKA's global production capacity.
On the same day, the executives of Dr. Till Reuter, CEO of KUKA Group, attended the ceremony. At the same time, KUKA invited the famous German table tennis team, Tim Bohr, to be the spokesperson for the KUKA brand. Kuka stated that at the end of last year, the new plant in Songjiang was officially put into production. The 350-employee factory, which covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters, will mainly produce KUKA industrial robots and consoles. The products can be used in automotive welding and assembly processes, as well as other wide-ranging applications.
With a total investment of 10 million to 12 million Euros, the plant initially produces 3,000 QUANTEC series robots each year equipped with KRC4 universal controllers with a design capacity of 5,000 units/year. The KUKA executives told Gasgoo.com that 5,000 units were actually single-shift production capacity and that they still retained a large potential for expansion.
With the increase in automation levels in the automotive and other industries, the market demand for industrial robots continues to grow. According to the statistics of the International Robot Federation (IFR), in 2012, the sales volume of industrial robots in the Chinese market was 25,000 (estimated), 22,987 in 2012, 22,577 in 2011, and only 15,000 in 2010. In the future, the industrial robot market in China will continue to grow in size. It is expected to reach 28,000 units in 2014, which is equal to the current top-ranking Japan. In 2015, it will reach 34,000 units, ranking the world's largest industrial robot market; in 2016 it will further increase to 38,000. station.
In addition to meeting the rising demand in the Chinese market, KUKA’s production capacity in China also looks at other markets and will continue to expand its business in Asia in the future. The new factory will enable KUKA to take a foothold in China and radiate Asian operations.
Dr. Till Reuter, CEO of KUKA Group stated: “China is the world’s largest and fastest growing robot market. We have established close long-term relationships with many large Chinese customers. In order to ensure the continued development of our business, we’re determined to make more progress.†The production capacity is concentrated in Shanghai."
Kong Bing, CEO of KUKA (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., stated that “In China, automation solutions including industrial robots have a huge market. I am very glad that KUKA can establish such an advanced robot manufacturing plant in Shanghai. It will represent the core of Kuka Asia's business in the future."
For a long time, KUKA and China have always maintained a close cooperative relationship: As early as the 1990s, KUKA has started close cooperation with China; in 2000, KUKA's first branch in China was formally established. So far, KUKA has established partnerships with a number of car companies, including multinational car companies such as Volkswagen and Daimler, as well as Chinese auto companies and joint ventures such as Shanghai Volkswagen, Beijing Automotive, Guangzhou Automobile, Geely, and Futian.
