About KUKA

KUKA supplies industrial and collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots, controllers, software and complete production systems. Its Robotics division covers six-axis, SCARA and delta arms across payload classes from small assembly systems to heavy industrial handling. KUKA Systems integrates production cells and turnkey manufacturing lines, while Swisslog and Swisslog Healthcare extend the group into warehouse, hospital and pharmacy automation.

Engineering, simulation, fleet-management and cloud tools connect individual machines with wider production and logistics systems. KUKA reported more than 550,000 robots installed globally in March 2026 and generated €3.9 billion in group revenue during 2025. The company operates in more than 50 countries, serving automotive, electronics, logistics, metalworking, consumer-goods and healthcare customers.
