EFORT Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. is a leading high-tech enterprise in China's industrial robotics sector. Established in 2007 and headquartered in Wuhu, China, EFORT has grown into a comprehensive provider of robotics and intelligent manufacturing solutions.
EFORT's business encompasses three core categories: industrial robot core components, complete robots, and system integration solutions. Its product portfolio includes a wide range of articulated robots capable of applications such as arc welding, spot welding, loading/unloading, assembly, palletizing, grinding, polishing, spraying, cutting, packaging, and inspection. These solutions serve diverse industries including automotive, 3C electronics, general industry, and new energy sectors like photovoltaics and lithium batteries.
A key milestone in EFORT's global strategy was its acquisition of several European robotics specialists, including Italian companies CMA (specializing in painting robotics and solutions), EVOLUT (for polishing and metal processing), and W.F.C (a provider of flexible automotive welding systems). This has enabled EFORT to establish a completely integrated industrial chain, spanning from core components to complete robots and high-end system integration.
EFORT has a significant global footprint with 19 subsidiaries across Asia, Europe, and South America. Its revenue is evenly split between domestic and international markets. Domestically, over 90% of revenue comes from robot sales, while overseas business primarily consists of system integration services for major automotive OEMs such as Stellantis, Volkswagen, and BMW.
Looking ahead, EFORT is investing in future technologies. In 2024, the company announced a major investment to build a "Robot Super Factory and Global Headquarters," targeting a future production capacity of up to 100,000 high-performance industrial robots annually. Furthermore, through a joint venture named Qizhi Robotics, EFORT is developing a general-purpose smart robotics technology base and is actively researching humanoid robots, with a prototype expected in the first half of 2025.
