Yaskawa opens new robot distribution centre and system production in Kočevje

Yaskawa continues to expand its robotics system production and distribution capabilities in Europe: on 30 June, Hiroshi Ogasawara (Representative Director & Chairman of the Board, Yaskawa Electric Corporation) and Pär Tornemo (CEO Yaskawa Europe GmbH) among Slovenian Minister for Economy, Labour and Sport Dr. Anže Logar and Akiko Yoshida, Ambassador of Japan to Slovenia, officially opened the new European Robotics Distribution Centre and an additional assembly hall for robot systems at the Slovenian site in Kočevje.

With the current investment of approximately €32 million, Yaskawa now has a central distribution facility for accepting and executing robot orders from across the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). This is located next to the first European Robot factory of Yaskawa opened in 2018 and is completing the Yaskawa Campus. By the financial year 2027 at least 80 percent of orders from EMEA markets are to be processed here. In addition, recent new construction measures are increasing the production and storage area in Kočevje to currently more than 30.000 square metres.
