Larraioz Elektronika responsible for the development of the Iberian robotics market
With the launch of the new Iberian HUB.Kawasaki Robotics EMEA strengthens its European network. The strategic agreement between Kawasaki Robotics and Larraioz Elektronika is valid from July 1, 2021. Larraioz Elektronika has been a partner and distributor of the international robotics manufacturer since 2015 – the new cooperation marks the next phase in the expansion of the robotics market on the Iberian Peninsula. As Kawasaki Robotics Iberian HUB, the Spanish partner will be responsible for the development of sales, marketing and the regional partner network in Spain and Portugal.
Second stage of reorganization of Kawasaki Robotics’ EMEA structure.
Following the successful establishment of the Central & Eastern Europe HUB, which has been operating out of Poland since 2020, the launch of the Iberian HUB is the next step in the reorganization of the Kawasaki Robotics network across the EMEA region.
“The HUB structure provides our partners with more autonomy and agility, allowing them to meet the individual needs of the local industry. While we provide them with our full support, they can leverage their expertise and knowledge of the regional markets to take the development of their markets to the next level. After more than 6 years of successful collaboration, this company was the logical choice to become our new Iberian HUB.”
– Kenji Bando, President of Kawasaki Robotics EMEA
Increasing automation demand in the region is precisely served
From the north of Spain, the company has been a strong automation solutions provider and the most trusted partner for robotics system integrators for more than 30 years. “We greatly appreciate the trust Kawasaki Robotics has placed in us, not only to represent the globally established brand in the Iberian market, but also to strategically develop the robotics business in all the countries of the region. The robotics sector, especially in Spain and Portugal, and the automation needs of regional companies are growing rapidly – the Iberian HUB offers the high-end products, strong network and extensive know-how to serve exactly these needs,” says Xabier Iturralde Usabiaga, General Coordinator.
