Prodomax secures major automation order for new automotive EV production in North America

Prodomax, a company of the Jenoptik Group, has secured an order from an existing customer for the turnkey design, construction and commissioning of four robot welding assembly lines in North America.

The order consists of several batches and has a total volume of more than 30 million euros. Delivery is scheduled for mid-2024. In total, more than 200 industrial robots will be integrated into the four combined lines, which will perform welding, transport and inspection tasks fully automatically. The systems are for a new EV model of a well-known North American car manufacturer, which will start operating in early 2025.

Prodomax, based in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, currently employs around 180 employees and specializes in process automation in the automotive industry. "As specialist for fully automated assembly lines we have established ourselves as a reliable partner of the US automotive industry”, says Bradley Parcher, General Manager of Prodomax.
