The trend towards automation began in the 1970s in various industries and companies of different sizes. Indumat GmbH & Co KG (acquired by ek robotics in 2001) was already involved in the logistics sector with robust driverless transport systems. At that time, its customer base already included well-known companies from various sectors such as the automotive and glass industries as well as paper processing.
We are putting the automotive industry in the fast lane, even in times of change.
