Italian automation specialist Comau has opened new engineering facility in Gateshead, boosting its ability to service the North East region.

Comau has its UK headquarters in Rugby and has served customers throughout the UK since 1991, able to offer technology based on its building block concept, including standalone automation products such as robots, spot guns, the RHEvo hemming solution and CNC machines.

The company specialises in working with customers to build up small systems, which can then be transformed into full automation solutions. With the new Gateshead engineering facilities, Comau is able to prebuild cells in a controlled environment and get them ready for factory acceptance testing.

Said Brendan Blennerhassett, managing director, at the June 14-15 Open House: “I am proud to celebrate the expansion of Comau UK, which is an important step forward for the company in the direction to be always closer to our customers. We are investing in our technology offering, our services and our facilities to help companies of all sizes respond to evolving market needs. This includes engineering the enabling technologies to support highly individualized, highly efficient production while safeguarding productivity and profitability for our customers, across the entire manufacturing line.”
