Kollmorgen moves to new premises in Sweden
Kollmorgena manufacturer of engine solutions for the robot industry, moves to new premises in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The move is part of a strategic initiative to meet future demands for automated controlled vehicles and autonomous mobile robots, by expanding operations and increasing innovation and development capacity.
The company says that the relocation will increase the speed of innovation and development and improve the training experience for partners and end users.
In addition, the new facility hosts an innovation lab for autonomous mobile robots.
Tobias Byfeldt, CEO of Kollmorgen Automation, says: “We have grown faster than expected over the past 10 years, with a sharp increase in recruitment and investments.
“In addition to our demand for larger office space – an important driving force for our move was to streamline the daily work of our engineers.
“The new office building is located next to our test and simulation center, which is a warehouse environment for running AGVs and mobile robots. Expanding the premises around our test center was part of the plan. ”
Aimed to act as an innovation and development catalyst, the seamless integration between the test center and the office will dramatically save time for engineers to iterate between code and physical tests.
The new premises also hosts an AMR-specific innovation lab, which focuses entirely on developing fully autonomous navigation technology. In addition, the facility will improve the training experience for Kollmorgen’s partners and end users, both when they participate on site and in virtual sessions.
Located in Sisjön, Gothenburg, one of the most commercially dense areas in northern Europe – the new 1,900 sqm premises are specially designed for Kollmorgen, with specific technical, environmental, human and cultural aspects.
Malin Nielsen, Global HR Manager, Kollmorgen Automotion, says: “It is exciting to move into a completely new office that, through its design, supports the cornerstones of our culture; innovation, collaboration and having fun at work.
“By listening carefully to our entire staff, we have tried to understand how we want to work – and what we need to excel in what we do. This common voice has materialized into an architectural vision that reflects who we are. ”
