𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 – IAR Group from Switzerland, which specializes in industrial automation systems, is expanding and founding a subsidiary in the greater Stuttgart area. The main objective is to sell its self-developed automation modules for loading and unloading processes as well as automated special machines and robot cells on the German market. To this end, a sales and service team is to be established

“I am very pleased about the newly founded subsidiary in the greater Stuttgart area – a milestone in the history of the IAR Group. IAR Deutschland GmbH will serve as an important base for us to sell our products and services in the German market.” This is how Sébastien Perroud, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Zofingen-based IAR Group, comments on the expansion into Germany.

Sales of special machines, robotics cells and automation modules for loading and unloading processes

The IAR Group’s primary objective is to sell its self-developed automation modules for loading and unloading processes, as well as its extensive expertise in building automated special-purpose machines and robotic cells in Germany. However, IAR Deutschland GmbH provides customers in Germany with access to all products and services as well as to the entire know-how of the internationally oriented IAR Group. In addition, IAR Deutschland GmbH cooperates with the high-tech partner Tigres GmbH for fully automated surface treatment of materials (for details see https://plasmaautomation.iargroup.com).

Establishment of a sales and service team headed by Jochen Eichert

IAR Deutschland GmbH is based in Aalen in the greater Stuttgart area. From there, the subsidiary will serve customers throughout Germany. “We are in the process of building a team of professionals in the areas of sales and service engineering,” says Jochen Eichert, managing director of IAR Deutschland GmbH. “Motivated professionals who know automation and want to support us in our market expansion are welcome to contact me.”

Relocation of production, shortage of skilled workers and high costs drive demand

Sébastien Perroud and Jochen Eichert are convinced that demand for automation solutions in Germany will continue to rise. The main reasons for this are a relocation of production back to Germany, the ongoing shortage of qualified specialists, and high production costs. Perroud: “Our automation solutions and our expertise in industrial automation make a decisive contribution to overcoming these challenges: Production capacities can be increased, employees can be freed up for higher-value work, and unit costs can be reduced.”
