Ajinextek announced on March 27 that it has supplied advanced manufacturing robots to Samsung Electronics, marking a significant step in its evolving role within the global electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
The newly delivered manufacturing robots are designed for high-precision assembly processes on factory lines. Unlike Ajinextek’s previously supplied vertical articulated robots and SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) systems, these machines require more sophisticated precision control, highlighting the company’s growing technological capabilities.
With this latest supply, Ajinextek now offers a comprehensive portfolio of robotics solutions used across Samsung’s manufacturing operations. The company has steadily expanded its business scope—from contract manufacturing of articulated robots to assembling SCARA controllers and delivering complete SCARA systems. These technologies play a critical role in semiconductor back-end packaging processes.
Strategically, Ajinextek aims to transition away from a contract manufacturing-focused model by internalizing robot controllers and key components. This shift is intended to increase value-added production and enhance profitability through technology-driven innovation rather than basic assembly services.
The partnership aligns with Samsung Electronics’ broader vision to transform its global production bases into AI-driven autonomous factories by 2030. As part of this initiative, Samsung is expected to significantly expand its use of robotics, including operating bots for production line management, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for logistics, and advanced manufacturing robots. Ajinextek is already contributing to this transformation by supplying articulated robots, SCARA systems, operating bots, and now manufacturing robots.
An Ajinextek official noted that the company’s expanded role is built on four years of trust and collaboration with Samsung. The addition of manufacturing robots signals the beginning of a full-scale growth phase for its robotics business. The company also aims to strengthen its competitiveness by advancing internal control technologies and positioning itself as a key partner in Samsung’s AI factory transition.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics continues to develop its own robotics ecosystem. The company recently acquired Rainbow Robotics, known for developing the bipedal robot Hubo. Samsung also collaborates with component suppliers such as SBB Tech, SPG, and Woolim PTS to strengthen its robotics supply chain.
As Samsung accelerates its automation roadmap, Ajinextek’s expanded capabilities and deeper integration into the supply chain position it as a rising player in the next generation of smart manufacturing.
