About igus
igus is a family-owned German manufacturer of motion plastics, founded in Cologne in 1964 and still wholly owned by its founding family. Its robotics business is grouped under Low Cost Automation: the robolink articulated arms, the ReBeL collaborative robot, and drylin linear and gantry robots, all built from the company’s own polymer bearings, gears and drive components to hit price points far below conventional industrial robots. Since 2019 the RBTX platform has sold these components and complete low-cost robots online alongside partner products, aimed at small and mid-sized companies automating simple tasks for the first time.
The wider group sells energy chains, cables and plain bearings in more than 80 countries, employs several thousand people (official figures: 4,600 in the company’s 2024 facts, about 5,200 in its 2025 press materials) and reported 2024 sales of roughly €1.1 billion. For directory partners, igus is a component-to-complete-robot source for low-cost automation: buyers can purchase a single joint, a ReBeL cobot or a configured gantry system from one supplier, with the group’s global subsidiaries providing local sales and support.
