KMT In South American Partnership
Auburn Hills-based KMT Robotic Solutions and Jaragua do Sul, Brasil-based Edge Automação Industrial Ltda. Friday announced an alliance that will offer comprehensive sales and service support for robotic routing and milling systems to target markets in South America.
These robotic services will be based upon KMT Robotic Solutions technology developed over the past 25 years.
"There are many customers in Brasil and elsewhere in South America that can benefit from the robotic routing and milling technology that KMT Robotic Solutions has developed," said KMT Robotic Solutions president Kevin McManus. "KMT working with Edge provides these customers with the best of both worlds; availability of world class technology combined with cost effective local system build and support."
Added Edge Automação director Gustavo Uhlig: "As Edge Automation is a company dedicated to the advancement of industrial processes, this relationship with KMT Robotic Solutions in Brazil will be very positive for the market. KMT prefers partners that have local knowledge combined with a broad automation background that can work with them to determine what automation makes the most sense and then implement the best solution. Edge offers that for the Automotive and General Industrial customers in South America."
