Yaskawa Europe Robotics purchased a 4.5-hectare plot next to its existing €25 million robot factory in Kočevje, Slovenia, to expand production, with plans to create 150 new jobs at the new factory.

Yaskawa opened a new industrial robot factory in Kočevje, Slovenia, after two years of construction. The facility will produce 10,000 robots per year and employ 150 workers by 2023, with an investment of around 25 million euros.

Yaskawa Europe Robotics started trial production at its new robot factory in Kočevje, Slovenia. The €24.6 million plant will manufacture seven types of robots, with production expected to reach 6,000 robots per year by March 2020 and employment up to 200 by 2023.

Yaskawa announced plans to build another plant manufacturing robotic hand components next to the one opening in spring 2019. The €20-30 million facility is expected to employ up to 250 people, with construction starting in April 2019 and production within two years.
