AI boom pushes Fanuc and Yaskawa to expand US production
Original: AI boom drives robot makers Fanuc, Yaskawa to step up shift from China to US
Japanese robotics giants Fanuc and Yaskawa Electric are accelerating a shift of manufacturing away from China toward the United States, according to Nikkei Asia. The move is driven by surging demand for factory automation tied to the AI boom, as well as trade tensions and supply chain pressures. Both companies are key global suppliers of industrial robots used in electronics and automotive production.
Why now: The AI-driven surge in automation demand and US-China trade tensions are prompting manufacturers to rethink where their robots are built.
