In a factory building in the heart of Denmark, 50 kilometres southwest of Aarhus, a literally moving spectacle can be observed day after day and almost 24 hours a day: Millions of fly larvae munch their way through their food in countless boxes, while the containers are constantly moved, stacked, emptied and filled by quietly whirring KUKA robots.
KUKA has met and even exceeded its ambitious targets for 2023. In addition to KUKA's Group-wide order intake (€4.0 billion, 2022: €4.5 billion), sales reve-nues (€4.1 billion) also exceeded the four-billion-euro mark for the first time. EBIT also rose for the first time to € 158.2 million. At 0.99, the book-to-bill ratio was below the previous year's figure. (2022: 1,14).
Augsburg-based automation expert KUKA and the Wolfsburg-based automotive group Volkswagen have signed a framework agreement for the delivery of more than 700 robots this year and over the next two years.
