Doosan Robotics is intensifying its efforts to become a leading global provider of intelligent robot solutions, with a comprehensive growth strategy that includes international acquisitions, talent recruitment, and organizational restructuring. On July 28, the company's board approved the acquisition of an 89.59% stake in ONExia, a Pennsylvania-based robotics system integrator, for approximately $25.9 million. Founded in 1984, ONExia specializes in end-to-end automation services across manufacturing, logistics, and packaging sectors, and has seen consistent annual sales growth of about 30%.
This acquisition is seen as a pivotal move for Doosan Robotics, enabling it to enhance its competitiveness in the intelligent robotics market by shifting from a hardware-centric model to a more integrated approach focusing on AI and software solutions. ONExia's engineering expertise and extensive automation data are expected to significantly bolster Doosan's AI capabilities.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Doosan Robotics is increasing its investments in research and development, actively recruiting specialists in robotics, AI, and software development, and reorganizing its R&D division to prioritize AI and humanoid technologies. A new R&D Innovation Center is also set to open by the end of the third quarter. CEO Kevin (Minpyo) Kim emphasized the importance of this acquisition in strengthening the company's global presence and internalizing AI technologies, aiming to position Doosan Robotics as a leader in the emerging Physical AI landscape.
