Cobot manufacturer Doosan Robotics has announced plans to establish its first US office in Buford, Georgia by the end of 2019.
Designed to accelerate the Korean company’s distribution efforts, the new office will serve as Doosan’s headquarters for sales, marketing, training, and customer service in the Americas.
Byungseo Lee, CEO of Doosan Robotics, said: “We are excited to announce our commitment in the US market with the expansion of our sales network and establishment of the first US office in Georgia.
“Now the largest market worldwide, the US market is expected to grow by 48% annually until 2023 . We will continue to provide products and services that meet the automation demands in the US.”
In April, Doosan officially launched four M Series cobot models in the USA, all equipped with torque sensors on each of their six joints.
Since the launch, Doosan has reached distribution and support agreements with multiple dealers in the USA, including RG Group, The Tool House and Ellison Technologies, with plans to further expand its distribution network.
“We have also set our foot in Canada and Mexico with established partnership and will also expand to South America by 2020,” added Lee.
