Star Automation Europe has collaborated with Keymac, an industrial equipment supplier, to distribute its cartesian robots.
Keymac, based in Ourém, near Leiria has robots available for mould makers and injection moulding, sectors Star expects to take up over three quarters of its orders in Portugal.
Star Automation has sold its robots in Portugal since 1992, originally providing Renault with injection moulding components. Its distribution has now reached forty companies.
Star has now agreed a distribution deal with Keymac, a family-run company with a ten-year experience in the world of agency and technical assistance. Keymac was born and grew following the automatisation of fruit farms and olive oil mills, installing machinery for fruit separation and oil bottling. It has now grown its market towards the plastics industry with the input of its manager Jorge Telhada. He said: “With the consolidated experience of the Star team in Europe and the worldwide recognized and well proven Star robots, we look out at our new endeavour with great expectations. Our customers may be sure they will enjoy the best of our efforts and longtime knowledge of industrial environment together with the friendliest entanglement with our partners’ staff.”
