Doosan Robotics Inc., a leading manufacturer of service and collaborative robots, today announced a new business unit, Doosan Robotics Americas. The Suwon, South Korea-based company established its U.S. headquarters in Plano, Texas.

Founded in 1896, Doosan Group has 25 affiliates and 114 global entities worldwide, generating a revenue of $15 billion (U.S.) in 2020. The group established Doosan Robotics in 2015 to create technology for the next generation of manufacturing.

The company said it has become one of the largest robotics manufacturers and providers in the world. It recently launched the NINA (“New Inspiration, New Angle”) camera robot. The system received a CES Innovation Award honoring outstanding consumer technology products at CES 2022.

Doosan’s U.S. customer base includes leading organizations across automotive, manufacturing, warehouse and logistics, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, construction, and packaging.

Doosan Robotics said its expansion in the U.S. market will increase customer awareness, accelerate business development, and provide specific industry support.
