Production of drive technology in Slovenia
Following the construction of the first European robot factory in Kočevje, Slovenia, Yaskawa is continuing its expansion in Europe: The company is planning further production sites in Slovenia for the manufacture of frequency inverters, servo drives and servo motors.
At the end of 2018, the first Motoman robots from purely European production will roll off the production line in Kočevje. Yaskawa is now setting up further production sites in Slovenia to meet the growing demand for drive technology. The new production facilities for the manufacture of frequency inverters, servo drives and servo motors will be located close to the robot factory.
"By expanding our manufacturing capacity, we will further improve the supply chain, shorten lead times and increase service for our European customers," explains Manfred Stern, President and CEO of Yaskawa Europe. "The current production facility of servo drives and frequency inverters in Cumbernauld, Scotland, will be maintained at current capacity utilization and will remain an important factor in meeting the increasing demand for Yaskawa drive products," he adds.
