Recently, KUKA General Industrial China CEO Qiming Wen told reporters that the US KUKA Shunde new plant will put into production in the fourth quarter of this year. It is estimated that by 2024, KUKA's robot production capacity in China will reach 100,000 units.

KUKA is located in the factory in Songjiang, Shanghai. It was originally set at 7xcbnm and has an annual production capacity of 5,000 units. Last year, the production capacity was expanded to 10,000 units.
