LVD Company NV has acquired the solutions business unit of KUKA Automatisering + Robotics NV in Houthalen-Helchteren, Belgium, to launch the new company, LVD Robotic Solutions BV.
LVD Robotic Solutions BV will significantly advance LVD’s expertise and market reach in robotics automation. The new entity will build on LVD’s experience in engineering robotic systems for sheet metalworking, centred on no robot teaching, high throughput, and fast “art to part.”
LVD will leverage the proficiency and capabilities of global automation leader KUKA to make robotised equipment available to manufacturers of all sizes and in a wide scope of industries beyond sheet metalworking. The new company will also allow LVD to serve as a single-source automation solutions provider for their customers’ entire manufacturing business.
With the acquisition, KUKA BENELUX’s engineering and project management staff become part of LVD Robotic Solutions. The robot sales and service portion of the KUKA BENELUX business is not part of the sale and will remain a separate entity located in the Houthalen-Helchteren office, focusing on expanding transactional sales and service of KUKA robots to integrators and end customers, including LVD Robotic Solutions.
LVD also acquires the KUKA BENELUX 7000 m2 Houthalen-Helchteren facility as part of the transaction. Tube / Hall 6 / E31
