Collaboration to deliver scalable automation solutions for electronics, semiconductor, medical manufacturing, and intralogistics sectors


Comau and OMRON Robotics have entered into a strategic collaboration agreement to accelerate the adoption of advanced industrial automation technologies across global manufacturing industries.

The partnership will focus on fast-growing industries such as electronics, semiconductors, medical manufacturing, and light industrial intralogistics, where manufacturers are increasingly seeking flexible and easy-to-integrate automation solutions.

By combining their complementary technologies, expertise, and business capabilities, the two companies aim to provide customers with a broader portfolio of scalable and adaptable automation systems that can be deployed across both existing production lines and next-generation manufacturing facilities.

The collaboration is also expected to create opportunities for future joint initiatives that integrate robotics hardware, intelligent controls, and software-driven automation to improve operational efficiency, flexibility, and overall manufacturing performance.

“This initiative is fully aligned with our strategy to expand Comau’s solution portfolio through high-impact partnerships,” said Pietro Gorlier. “Omron is an ideal partner, sharing our vision of open innovation and customer-centric value creation. By combining Comau’s robotics expertise with Omron’s complementary technologies and software capabilities, we enable the delivery of solutions that are easier to deploy, highly adaptable, and future-ready.”

“Through this collaboration, we are bringing together two complementary portfolios with a shared focus on customer success,” said Olivier Welker. “By aligning our expertise in robotics, applications, advanced control, and intelligent automation technologies, we can help manufacturers respond faster to changing market demands.”
