Flexiv, a developer of general-purpose robotics solutions, is expanding its operations in Singapore, which the company describes as a “key market” because the country is “committed to adopting cutting-edge technology to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve productivity”.
According to the latest International Federation of Robotics data, Singapore boasts a robot density of 730 to 770 robots per 10,000 employees making it second only to South Korea.
Despite Singapore’s relatively small manufacturing workforce, this exceptionally high ratio underscores the nation’s rapid adoption of industrial robotics and its commitment to automation.
To accommodate its growing team and meet rising customer demand, Flexiv Singapore recently relocated to a larger facility within Singapore Science Park 1. This strategic expansion reflects both the increasing popularity of robotic automation solutions in the region and Flexiv’s expanding global presence.
With its warehouse space effectively doubled, coupled with an expanded commissioning area, Flexiv Singapore is now better equipped to provide cutting-edge robotic solutions to its ever-growing customer base.
Jeff Ng, regional manager of Flexiv Singapore, says: “Our decision to open a new office was driven by the rapid growth of our operations.
“When we established our first office, we accounted for future expansion, but the surge in inquiries and demand exceeded even our expectations. With our adaptive robots redefining what’s possible in automation, this new facility will allow us to showcase more applications and provide more businesses with state-of-the-art robotic solutions.
“We’re proud and delighted to contribute to the growth of automation in both industrial and non-industrial sectors within Singapore and beyond.”
The new office is not only a milestone in Flexiv’s growth strategy but it also serves as a regional hub to support customers and partners. With improved access to technical expertise, localized support, and tailored solutions, the expanded facility is set to accelerate the adoption of adaptive robotics across Southeast Asia.
This expansion aligns with broader industry trends. According to the International Federation of Robotics, 73 percent of all newly deployed industrial robots in 2023 were installed in Asia, a clear indication of the region’s accelerating commitment to automation.
The surge in adoption reinforces the critical role robotics play in transforming manufacturing processes and addressing the growing demands of modern industries.
As more industries embrace automation, adaptive robots are gaining recognition for their ability to perform a wide range of tasks that previously required manual labor.
From traditional robot applications like assembly and packaging to complex tasks that require a human-like sense of touch, such as precision insertion and material abrasion, Flexiv’s adaptive robots integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, enhancing productivity, safety, and operational flexibility.
Flexiv is committed to providing the world with robotic solutions that enable industries like manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and hospitality to do more with less.
