Over the years, KUKA México has served a growing variety of industries. While its main focus has been in the automotive sector, the company has also served a range of other industries and applications such as electronics, material handling and packaging, consumer goods, metalworking, logistics, and healthcare. It has even served industries unique to the Mexican market, including the production of avocado, craft and industrial-produced beer, and tequila, among other spirits for food and beverage processing.

KUKA's success in México over the past 30 years also stems from its foundation of strong strategic alliances and industrial collaborations. The region works closely with certified integrators who design and implement customized automation solutions for customers. This ecosystem of trusted partners has played a key role in KUKA's growth and leadership in México. The Mexican government continues to increase its investment in technology, in particular in automation, and has recognized KUKA as a key contributor to the nation's industrial development.

As part of its business strategy, KUKA will integrate more academic institutions into its ecosystem and deepen partnerships with clusters and industry associations. In México, as throughout its global operations, strategic alliances and personalized service remain central to KUKA's mission and long-term success.

"We look back with pride over the past 30 years," says Christopher Hernandez, President of KUKA México, "and now look forward to continuing our purpose - empowering local manufacturing through KUKA innovation, while helping to build the future of México's manufacturing industries."
