Previously, Norcar Automation was a business unit within the Oy Norcar-BSB AB group, but last year they were spun off and became an independent company. Having a system partner in Ostrobothnia is important because it is always the case that a local connection contributes to knowledge and opportunities for both of us.According to Micael Amandusson, Channel Manager at KUKA Nordic, Norcar Automation is a company with extensive experience in delivering everything from standard products to complete production lines, including to quite tough and demanding environments.
