Schaeffler: growing stronger in robotics

Schaeffler Group have strengthened their robotics division with the acquisition of Melior Motion GmbH. This acquisition will expand its robotics portfolio for our Industrial division.

The industrial division at Schaeffler has been consistently increasing its position as a supplier for robotics components and systems dating back to 2017. Ralf Moseberg, Senior Vice President Industrial Automation at Schaeffler Industrial, tells us, "The developments and products of Melior Motion GmbH are an ideal addition to the Schaeffler Group's product portfolio. The much lower backlash, compared to competitors' products, is derived from an ultra-precise planetary gearbox concept with special characteristics. The high torque density, long service life, and outstanding energy efficiency are of exceeding interest to our large customer base in the field of robotics. The two companies' products are complementary and share the same group of customers."

Chris Morrell, managing director of Melior Motion GmbH, states: “We are delighted to gain a new owner and strategic partner for the future in the Schaeffler Group. Its global footprint, manufacturing expertise, and especially its ability to scale up the business will enable us to launch another phase of accelerated growth with respect to industrial robots and the machine tool market.
