Universal Robots
Helmut Schmid is also responsible for Northern Europe
Helmut Schmid is now also in charge of the Northern Europe region for Universal Robots. In addition to the DACH and Benelux countries, he is now also responsible for all UR activities in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
"The expanded area of responsibility offers us the opportunity to create new synergies within the company, learn even more from each other and grow faster," says Helmut Schmid. "My primary focus is now on establishing an efficient, overarching organizational and communication structure between the individual countries."
The manager joined Universal Robots in 2016 and, as General Manager Western Europe, has been responsible for the expansion of the rapidly growing core market of Western Europe. Under his leadership, the German subsidiary was founded in autumn 2016, the UR team and sales structure in the region were expanded and services and training centers were extended. "The responsibility for additional regions is a fantastic confirmation of what we have already achieved so far," he says.
Denmark, Universal Robots' home market, plays a special role in Helmut Schmid's new range of tasks. Today, the country has the world's highest density of robots in the field of lightweight robotics and a particularly high level of public attention. "The Universal Robots success story began in Odense in 2005. Even though we have been a global company from the very beginning, Denmark is our flagship." as
