September 11, 2019 – Mobile Industrial Robots opened a two-building, 7376 sq. ft. office in Holbrook, New York, replacing the Danish company’s first international office, opened in the same city in 2016. It also includes MiR’s first showroom outside of the company’s headerquarters in Odense, designed to showcase its range of mobile robots and the various applications. With the facility, the company expects to add at least seven new employees within the next year to the 13 already in the United States.
Founded in Odense, Denmark in 2013, MiR opened the first office in Holbrook followed by facilities in San Diego, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Singapore and Shanghai. The company’s family of AMRs for heavy and light internal transport optimizes logistics throughout the entire production chain, from the warehouse to the delivery of goods. The MiR100, MiR200, MiR500 and MiR1000 (launched in April) are already installed in more than 50 countries at companies such as Toyota, Ford Motors, Raytheon, ABB and CABKA North America. The robots are intended to help manufacturers and other organizations keep up with customer demands with adaptable production facilities.
For example, Teamvantage, an injection molding and contract manufacturer, implemented a MiR100 robot with a hook (a MiRHook100) this summer at its warehouse in Forest Lake, Minnesota.
