The cooperation with Kawasaki began in 1995 when robots were introduced into Orfer's operations. Early on, Orfer demonstrated exceptional expertise, and in 1997, Kawasaki awarded Orfer for the world's best robot application. This early recognition laid the foundation for a close and innovative collaboration, where customized solutions tailored to customer needs and high quality have been key.

Orfer's ability to design and implement customer-specific automation systems has ensured efficiency and functionality, keeping customers satisfied for decades. The lifecycle and performance of robotic applications, in turn, are maintained by Orfer Services through very comprehensive lifecycle services.

The 30-year partnership between Orfer and Kawasaki is a testament to both companies' commitment to sustainable development, innovation, and long-term relationships. It is a story of continuous learning, development, and shared success.
