Universal Robots Italia’s
new offices in Turin
were officially opened
on Tuesday 13 March 2018:
located close to the Po,
the offices are a large open-space
created from the conversion
of an old factory.
The opening was led by Italy
sales development manager Alessio Cocchi,
who presented the company,
the new offices and the national team.
The two other speakers were
Universal Robots President Jürgen von Hollen
and the Regional Manager for Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa,
Jacob Pascual Pape.
who illustrated a series of economic,
financial and strategic elements
in Universal Robots’ global growth.
The opening of the new offices brought the many journalists attending the event
into direct contact with a modern, innovative organisation,
with more than 400 employees from 35 different countries:
a cultural and technological melting pot on a worldwide scale.
President Jürgen von Hollen spoke
about the company’s
exceptional growth:
in 2017 Universal Robots boosted
its turnover by 72%
from the previous year
and secured a 60% market share.
Universal Robots has set itself
a 50% growth target for 2018,
to be achieved in part through investments
designed to consolidate
its proximity to its customers
and attract the top talents
on the labour market.
A lengthy question
and answer session,
followed by the customary interviews,
preceded the final part of the event,
during which everyone enjoyed lunch
and took an opportunity to network
in the areas set aside for the purpose in the new premises.
A festive day and important prospects for the future,
as the three managers who led the event pointed out.
Well I think this day was fantastic.
I think the level of interest, the
level of discussion, the questions
is probably the best we have
ever had on any Region,
so the matter of questions
but also the type of questions
was positive.
I think the location is fantastic,
I think it’s a very cool building
which does represent
our culture very nicely
I’m very happy with that
and it feels smart,
it feels new.
In the fact we are in Torino
I think is also for me
a very positive thing
with all the history
here in automation
and with the automotive,
we have the factories.
There’s so much potential here
and I’m really excited
about this thing.
It’s a great satisfaction for me
as responsibile for South Europe
and Middle East
to see the culmination
of more than 4/5 years
of activity on the Italian market,
so by opening this office today
it confirms our commitment
for the Italian market
and I foresee the
next couple of years
of consolidated growth in Italy.
I’m glad to host this event today.
It’s a real pleasure for me to grow
and give my personal
contribute in Universal Robots
in growing something
local that will be
bigger and bigger
in the next months.
