Starting new business with these European distributors, Robotics Division of Hanwha Precision Machinery launched its robot brand name as “Hanwha Robotics,” with the intention of obtaining a position in the robot market.

Meanwhile, the collaborative robots market is one of the most popular products in the paradigm of the 4th industrial revolution, with a high growth rate of 55% or more per year.

We will continue to expand our global market through continuous investment in robotics business.” (Hillary Kang)
