SCHUNK Engineering

SCHUNK Electronic Solutions is strengthening its position in electronics manufacturing. By acquiring Achat Engineering GmbH, the company is expanding its portfolio to include board handling and AOI classification systems. As a result, its modular machine platform is evolving into an all-in-one solution offering – from stand-alone to fully integrated inline systems – for efficient, fully automated electronics production.

With the spin-off of a new company at the beginning of January 2026, SCHUNK is consolidating its activities in humanoid robotics and positioning itself as a key player in the growing market. The new company aims to develop modular humanoid robot hands for industrial applications, thereby systematically expanding the availability and use of humanoid systems.
