Season’s Greetings!

A Happy New Year! Last year, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our robot business. We conducted campaigns such as a ceremonial meeting and opened the 50th anniversary special website on the robotics website. We also built a new production line for clean robots at Nishi-Kobe Works in Japan and expanded the production.

This year, the world economy may not be as good as we expect due to the US-China trade friction. However, based on the lower birthrate, aging population and decreasing labor force, I am expecting a continued growth for the robot market.

  In replay to such trend, we are planning to implement the Successor (a new robot system that can transfer human skills to the next generation) in actual production lines this year. In such a new field, we need a high level of technology and R&D capability. I am sure that we are able to make use of the half a century’s experiences and expertise in such a challenge.

当社は、「産業ロボットメーカー」から『総合ロボットメーカー』への飛躍を目指し、今まで以上に皆様に寄り添い、社会貢We are evolving from a manufacturer of industrial robots to a fully integrated robot manufacturer. We look forward to working closely with our customers and contributing to the society. We appreciate your continued support.
