On February 17, 2023 the US-American subsidiary SCHUNK Intec Inc. celebrated an important milestone. "Over the past 30 years, SCHUNK has become a real household name in the American market," said a proud Henrik A. Schunk. Solutions from SCHUNK can now be found on American production floors in all industries, from the automotive industry to high-tech companies like Space-X. "Establishing such an esteemed brand is something we can be proud of," Schunk emphasizes. He has a special relationship with the Morrisville site because he ran the Intec for several years.

On February 9, 2023, SCHUNK opened its eighth CoLab worldwide. The new robot application center is located at the Dutch site in 's-Hertogenbosch. Here, experts accompany the way into automated processes and test customer-specific automation modules realistically on different lightweight robots.

The flat, power-dense rotary units from SCHUNK have been expanded by adding a fourth size and a wider range of variants. The measuring system interfaces now also include the digital real-time interface HIPERFACE DSL® - an important trailblazer for end-to-end digital communication. Extensive options such as an increased IP54 protection class, UL certification and an electric holding brake enable dynamic handling processes in demanding areas from e-mobility to life science.

When international companies get together at the world’s leading trade show in Hanover from April 17 to 21, 2023, they will all be setting their own priorities – and yet they will have one thing in common: they are currently facing major tasks that require a profound rethinking. In addition to urgent questions about energy security and functioning supply chains, there are big question marks, especially behind the mega topics of sustainability and digitalization. The automation specialist SCHUNK shows that both topics go hand in hand and deliberately focuses on an open dialog in Hanover. Through exchange of information and cooperation in a spirit of partnership, future-proof concepts and technologies are created that can be used to tackle the challenges of these times.
