The Homag Group and KUKA signed a strategic partnership agreement at the HOLZ-HANDWERK trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany. The companies have agreed intensive cooperation on global development projects. Two such projects have already been launched in China and Germany. The aim of the partnership is to join forces in developing smart robot solutions and selling them to the global woodworking market, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The collaboration will benefit from KUKA's broad experience gained in different sectors in the field of robotics and from its large network of certified partners, who are located in numerous countries around the world and not only program KUKA robots but also integrate them at customer sites.
The Homag Group has an in-depth process knowledge of the woodworking industry and a strong, global sales network. Together, the Homag Group and KUKA can offer new, smart robot solutions to support the worldwide trend toward automation and increased availability.
The Homag Group is a leading manufacturer of machines and systems for the woodworking industry and trade.
