Automation companies (Turin, Italy) and (Bari, Italy) have announced a collaboration focused on meeting the market need for affordable automation in advanced, on-demand manufacturing applications, combining Roboze’s expertise in advanced manufacturing and high-performance polymers and composites with Comau’s automation know-how.
The cooperation targets a range of sectors, from automotive and aerospace to energy, racing and beyond, aiming to accelerate the availability of automation for advanced manufacturing everywhere. This directly supports reshoring strategies and sustainable manufacturing models, allowing companies to optimize resources, minimize waste and align with growing market expectations for low-impact, environmentally responsible production.
This collaboration emphasizes the key role of robotized processes in enabling the widespread industrial adoption of needs-based advanced manufacturing. It also enables the creation of advanced geometries that are not feasible with traditional manufacturing methods, empowering companies to produce complex and customized parts on demand through a highly flexible and cost-effective system.
“The combined expertise and technologies allow us to offer customers solutions that integrate automation, robotics and additive manufacturing,” emphasizes Giacomo Del Panta, chief customer management officer of Comau. “We are confident this collaboration can bring tangible benefits to manufacturing processes across numerous industrial sectors.”
