The Swedish part of the company employs around 160 people at their facilities in Torsås, Kalmar and Jönköping. All three facilities train robot operators in robot programming and robot handling while all manufacturing takes place at Torsås, where they make control systems to all the robots on the European market and complete robotic systems mainly for the Swedish market. They also manufacture peripheral equipment to robotic systems, such as gripping tools, welding equipment, gantries and pick lanes, which broadens a robot’s operating range. “We offer products that give our customers competitive advantages by increasing productivity and creating a better work environment,” explains Cecilia Benze, Marketing Manager at Yaskawa Nordic AB.

Dan Gunnarsson, engineer at Yaskawa Nordic AB, adds: “As well as creating a safer and more efficient work environment for their customers, the company also attaches great importance to improving their own workplace conditions. Keeping safety in focus and staying at the forefront of the latest developments is a matter of course for Yaskawa Nordic. Our design and construction department keep an eagle eye on all the latest safety requirements.” Yaskawa Nordics’s partnership with Axelent stretches back fifteen to twenty years. They chose Axelent for their prime quality products and short lead times.
