Dear gomtec customers and prospects,

We are excited to announce the acquisition of gomtec by ABB (https://pr.ai/showthread.php?2385), the leading power and automation group. This acquisition will be mutually beneficial for both the Robotics business of ABB and for gomtec, as well as the customers of both organizations.

ABB pioneered the world’s first industrial paint robot in the 1960s and the world’s first commercially-available, all-electric, microprocessor-controlled robot in the 1970s. Today it is a global leader in robot automation with more than a quarter of a million robots installed worldwide.

Given the importance of the rise of Human-Robot Collaboration in the manufacturing arena, the collaborative robots and supporting technology that gomtec is developing will play a key role in ABB’s Next Level strategy to support the explosion in robotic automation,and will complement ABB’s existing portfolio of robotic solutions.

In ABB, gomtec has found the best partner for the next step in its journey. ABB’s global reach and broad installed base, coupled with its world-class operations will help bring innovative robots and solutions to the rapidly growing market for collaborative automation.

Robots – specifically collaborative robots – are a large part of ABB’s vision for industrial automation, and the company is in a unique position to offer comprehensive automation solutions that include industrial robots with motors, drives and control systems.

For the forseeable future both gomtec and ABB Robotics will continue on the same path we already are – creating some of the world’s most unique and advanced industrial robots. Over the coming months we will integrate gomtec’s workflows into ABB’s workflows for a seamless transition.

Rest assured, the robotic technologies gomtec is developing will continue along the path towards the innovation that has already excited the market and when we are ready to introduce our new products, it will be under the ABB brand and supported globally to the same standards of excellence that ABB is well-known for.

Please join us in celebrating this next step for both companies.

Sincerely,

Per Vegard Nerseth
Managing Director Business Unit Robotics

Chief Executive Officer of Gomtec
