"We will pool our resources in a strong European platform to reap the benefits of automation in Europe. This will allow us to become more efficient in developing standards for the smart factory of the future, more vocal on regulatory issues, and committed to advancing our approach to a human-centric future of work," says Wilfried Eberhardt, Chairman of Eunited Robotics.

VDMA Robotics + Automation unites 370 member companies from 13 countries

Patrick Schwarzkopf, Managing Director of VDMA Robotics + Automation, adds, "We look forward to continuing Eunited Robotics' many activities, such as the European Robotics Summit, advocacy at the European level, and the Good Work Charter campaign."

Klaus-Dieter Axt, Executive Director of Eunited AISBL, added: "The close cooperation between Eunited Robotics and VDMA R+A is already well established and reflected in the large overlap in membership between the two association platforms. With this strategic decision, Eunited Robotics' members will benefit from new synergies and will be able to take advantage of VDMA's full range of services."
