Uniwelco (formerly RO-Buddy™) has from February 1st become its own seperate entitity and hereby becomes a sister company to Svejsehuset A/S, where the robotics company originates from. Uniwelco has in very few years gone from a being subsidiary of Svejsehuset to becoming an independent company with a filled order book, a growing staff count, public investments and an innovation award.

Lars Jakobsen, newly appointed CEO for the now independent Uniwelco is proud of the market share, that the growing robotics company has managed to capture, with the focus being user-friendly welding solutions using a Universal Robots Cobots UR5E UR10E.

"Uniwelco must be an international brand, when it comes to user-friendly solutions with Cobots, and we have come a long way, in that regard," Lars Jakobsen says and continues:

"Back in January 2020 Uniwelco received the IDA-award 4.0 and looking back on that, the natural progression was to establish a sister company."

In-house welding experience and software development

Uniwelco produces welding robots, which can automise the manual laborious welding processes and can subsequently increase productivity with approximately 50%. The unique team behind Uniwelco is a combination of several years of experience from the welding industry and the company's proprietary development of the software, which controls the welding robot. The robot has been designed with the goal in mind, that everybody should be able to program and control the robot, even without prior experience. This is exactly how Uniwelco creates clever solutions to traditional tasks.

"In this process we have applied for financial aid from Innovation Fond Denmark, which over the last 12 months will support the development of Uniwelco to become the best solution for TIG and MIG welding." Lars Jakobsen says.

With great demand and positive respons from the customer, the ambitions are high for the newly established company's future development:

"Our goal is to deliver +100 systems a year. Right now we are four employees, but the ambition is to become 8-9 employees in 12 months" Lars Jakobsen explains.
