Robot System Products (RSP), a Sweden-based supplier of peripheral equipment for industrial robots, has officially opened its first production facility outside of Sweden, in Chennai, India, through its subsidiary company, Scandinavian Robot Systems India Private Limited.
RSP’s Indian subsidiary began operations in November 2023 in Tamil Nadu, one of India’s primary automotive hubs.
Since then, the company has been supplying its industry-leading range of robot accessories to customers across India.
RSP's growth in the Indian market
In 2024, RSP experienced significant growth, especially within the automotive and automotive ancillary (Tier-1) sectors in India. To further enhance customer service, the company also established a branch office in Pune, strengthening its presence in western India.
According to the company's statement, the new facility in Chennai will focus on manufacturing key products or modules such as automatic tool changers, swivels, tool parking stands, and cable & hose management solutions.
The company said it is leveraging the established supplier network in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to ensure high-quality production.
India's growing industrial robot market
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), India was the fastest-growing industrial robot market in 2023, with annual installations increasing by 50%, reaching 8,500 units. This surge in demand has positioned India as the 10th largest robotics market globally.
“We are confident in our decision to establish operations in India, and the rapid market growth reinforces that India will deliver on its potential,” said Eddie Eriksson, President and CEO of Robot System Products AB.
Founded in 2003 after a management buyout from ABB, Robot System Products (RSP) said that its products are designed to enhance manufacturing flexibility and reliability across all major robot brands. The company delivers cutting-edge solutions that improve robot performance and versatility.
Among its key products, the automatic tool changers enable robots to seamlessly switch between various tools—such as grippers, welders, and drills—without downtime, optimizing productivity and throughput.
Arvind Vasu, Managing Director of RSP’s India subsidiary, commented, “Indian industries are poised to boost productivity through robot-based automation, particularly in automotive electric vehicles, electronics, and other manufacturing sectors. With India’s ambitious ‘Make in India’ initiative, RSP is well-positioned to offer local industries reliable, high-quality, and flexible solutions to help them automate and achieve their goals.”
