We support the journey of automobiles in the production process by offering ideal solutions for the special needs of giant manufacturers with both a wide product range and user-oriented software. In this direction, 1300 robots requested by the automotive giant Volkswagen became one of the largest orders we received in one go. We already have a long-standing and trust-based cooperation with Volkswagen. We are delighted to be able to expand this to include the Bratislava facility. The main Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg will also receive a large amount of the robots we will manufacture. The all-electric ID.3 will roll off the production line here from 2023, and our robots will assist in the body construction. FANUC robots will also contribute to the expansion of e-mobility at Audi's new battery assembly plant in Ingolstadt, the brand's group company. The fourth factory where we will supply robots within the scope of the order will be the Audi factory in Győr, Hungary.”
