Rethink Robotics is responding to the increasing demand for its collaborative robot Sawyer by expanding its global partner network: with the new sales partnerships in Europe, the USA and the Asia-Pacific region, the company is increasing the availability of its smart cobot. The aim is to support companies worldwide in the automation of their production steps. The new collaborations strengthen the existing sales network of selected partners in Germany, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, the USA, China, Korea, Japan and Australia and reinforce Rethink's claim to offer manufacturing companies of all sizes and industries safe, flexible and cost-effective automation solutions.

"The increasing global demand for our smart, collaborative robots has reinforced our decision to expand our network in the key regions of Europe, North America and Asia with renowned sales partners," says Darius Wilke, Director European Business at Rethink Robotics. "Our record growth in the second quarter shows that we are hitting a nerve in the market with our cobot, Sawyer, and are addressing the key challenges of the manufacturing industry. Our distribution partners help us to provide our customers with the best possible support at every stage of the implementation process - from finding a suitable application for Sawyer to integration and beyond."

More and more companies from a wide range of industries, such as plastics processing, packaging and logistics, metalworking and electronics manufacturing, are choosing Sawyer as a smart automation solution to meet current challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers and to work more efficiently and productively. Rethink offers manufacturers a best-in-class cobot solution. The industry-leading software, Intera, and the patented Clicksmart gripper technology simplify the implementation of Sawyer and ensure easy training of the cobot even for non-specialists.

Rethink's strategic network of distribution partners now enables the Boston-based company to serve its key target markets even better. In the coming months, Rethink plans to add further selected distribution partners to its global partner network. as
