KUKA and automotive company
Volkswagen (VW) have signed a framework agreement for the delivery of more than 700 robots over the next two years to support the latter’s production expansion in Europe.
The robot models, which includes KUKA’s bestseller — the KR QUANTEC — will be installed at the VW Navarra production plant in Pamplona, Northern Spain, where it will be used in body-in-white production.
KUKA has had a successful partnership with Volkswagen at the Pamplona site for almost 30 years, underpinned by many years of trusting cooperation, excellent service, and a low total cost of ownership for its robot models.
Peter Mohnen, CEO of KUKA AG, said: “KUKA has been a strong and global partner to the automotive industry for decades. We are pleased to continue our trusting cooperation with VW.”
