Universal Robots partners with Bharat Fritz Werner in India

India is emerging as one of the fastest growing economies in the new millennium and the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) segment is expected to play a significant role in this growth.

Universal Robots is aiming to penetrate the sector with new and affordable automation solutions with a collaboration with Bharat Fritz Werner (BFW), India’s largest machine tool manufacturer, and integrate collaborative robots in manufacturing processes.

The partnership aims to disrupt the MSME segment with top-notch automation solutions and for CNC machines.
