Creating Motion Solutions to Help our Customers Make Positive Change in the World
Our vision is to enable our customers to create new value in their markets
We provide innovative precision motion solutions in the packaging, assembly, semiconductor and robotics market segments. Our team reimagines how to solve industry challenges; collaborates with our partners on new designs; or helps them improve their motion systems already in the field.
To ensure that we can deliver on our vision, we have developed, and continually improve our critical capabilities. Our people, partners, and culture are what help us bring our vision to life.
The support we receive from our parent company Koch Engineered Solutions, along with our contract manufacturers, distributors, drive partners, and systems integrators work together to make us a preferred partner. We want to be the partner to take your products to the next level.
