About Yaskawa Electric

Yaskawa Electric is a Japanese mechatronics manufacturer founded in 1915 and headquartered in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka. For more than a century it has worked in electric motors and their applications, and today it operates three core businesses: motion control (servo motors, servo amplifiers and machine controllers), industrial AC drives and inverters, and robotics. Its robot brand, MOTOMAN, dates to 1977, when Yaskawa launched Japan’s first all-electric industrial robot; the company reports more than 500,000 MOTOMAN robots installed worldwide across a lineup of 150-plus models. The range covers arc and spot welding — where Yaskawa is a long-standing market leader in automotive production — plus handling, assembly, coating, palletizing, cleanroom transfer for semiconductor and display production, and a growing family of HC-series collaborative robots, including high-payload models aimed at palletizing work.

Yaskawa packages these products under its i3-Mechatronics concept, combining mechatronics hardware with data-driven software to help factories monitor and improve production. The group does business in 30 countries with production sites in 12 of them, serving automotive, electronics, food, logistics, biomedical and infrastructure customers. It is listed here as one of the founding companies of the industrial robot industry and a top-five global robot maker by market share.
