Rethink Robotics signs 11 distributors in Europe, North America

Rethink Robotics signed deals with 11 new distributors throughout North America and Europe, building on its existing global network of quality channel partners. The new relationships expand Rethink’s presence in North America and Europe to include the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Romania ,and Turkey.

The new channel partners will all carry Rethink’s Sawyer™ robot, which is powered byIntera®5.2. In November 2017, Rethink unveiled Intera 5.2 with Intera Insights, which was built on the groundbreaking Intera 5 platform to include real-time manufacturing data such as cycle time, part count, speed and force. Intera 5.2 came shortly after the ClickSmart™ family of gripper kitswas announced, introducing a fully integrated robotic solution that is the fastest to deploy in the industry. These two releases were part of Rethink’s ongoing effort to provide the industry’s best customer experience, which is also a key factor when selecting members of the company’s partner network.

“We’re dedicated to providing an extraordinary experience to our customers at every step of the process, from discovery to deployment to ongoing support, and our channel partner network plays an important role in making that mission a reality,” said Scott Eckert, president and CEO, Rethink Robotics. “As we expand into critical geographies in North America and Europe, we look for partners who will provide the best fit in terms of quality of service and staff who can augment the caliber of product we’re bringing to customers around the world.”
