Duroc Machine Tool completes acquisition of Robot Nordic and strengthens its position in automated production solutions
Duroc Machine Tool has today signed the agreement to acquire the remaining 49% of the shares in Robot Nordic. Following the transaction, Robot Nordic will be 100% owned by Duroc Machine Tool and fully integrated into the group.
The acquisition marks an important strategic milestone in Duroc Machine Tool’s ambition to be the preferred partner for manufacturing companies looking to strengthen their competitiveness through modern technology, automation and digitalisation.
“This is more than an acquisition. It is a strategic step that strengthens our ability to help customers address some of the industry’s biggest challenges – the shortage of skilled labour, increasing productivity requirements and the need for greater production flexibility. By bringing machine technology and automation together in one organisation, we can take greater responsibility for our customers’ complete production solutions,” says Søren Gerber, CEO of Duroc Machine Tool.
In recent years, Duroc Machine Tool has seen growing demand for automated production solutions across its seven markets. With the integration of Robot Nordic, the company can offer customised solutions that combine advanced machines from suppliers such as DN Solutions with robotics, automation, software, service and support.
“Our customers are no longer looking for just a machine. They are looking for solutions that can deliver measurable results from day one. That is why it is a clear strength that we can now act as our customers’ single point of contact – from consulting and machine selection to automation, installation, service and ongoing support,” says Søren Gerber.
Robot Nordic has built strong expertise in robot integration and automation over several years and has established itself as a respected partner for manufacturing companies in the Nordic region. With the integration, this expertise is brought together in one organisation with shared goals, a shared strategy and a shared focus on customer success.
For customers, this means broader expertise, faster decision-making and one single entry point for both machine technology and automation.
“The winners of the future in manufacturing will be the companies that are able to combine advanced machining with intelligent automation. With the full integration of Robot Nordic, Duroc Machine Tool is stronger than ever in helping customers make that transformation,” says Søren Gerber.
Duroc Machine Tool sees the acquisition as a natural next step in the company’s development and as an investment in customers, employees and future growth.
