The new support office in Neuss near Düsseldorf is strategically located to maintain contact with Yamaha's agents and distributors across Europe. According to Ichiro Arimoto, General Manager of Yamaha Motor IM Europe, now is also "the right time to strengthen support for our European partners as leading companies are significantly increasing robot deployments as one of the foundations of digital transformation."

Control systems, accessories such as grippers and customer-specific adaptations are also part of the portfolio.
