【NEWS RELEASE】
TOYO Automation and Yamaha Motor Establish Joint Venture — TY ROBOTICS Co., Ltd.
Integrating production and sharing resources to strengthen industrial robot competitiveness
TOYO Automation Co., Ltd. (“TOYO Automation”) and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272; “Yamaha Motor”) are pleased to announce the establishment of a new joint venture company, TY ROBOTICS Co., Ltd. (“TY”), in August 2025.
Located at Yamaha Motor’s Miyakoda Office in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, TY is scheduled to begin production in January 2026. Over time, Yamaha Motor will gradually transfer production of its single-axis and Cartesian robot product lines to TY, further strengthening competitiveness in the industrial robotics sector.
Since Yamaha Motor’s capital investment in TOYO Automation in March 2019, both companies have maintained a strong collaborative partnership — including OEM supply of selected robot models and joint development of next-generation products.
The creation of TY ROBOTICS marks a major milestone in this partnership. By integrating production and sharing resources, the two companies aim to shorten lead times, enhance production efficiency, and diversify product offerings, delivering even more competitive automation solutions to customers worldwide.
For decades, TOYO Automation has been dedicated to the R&D and manufacturing of Cartesian robots and linear motion modules for industrial automation.
With continuous global growth in semiconductor, smartphone, and factory automation sectors, TOYO has expanded its presence with sales subsidiaries in China, the U.S., India, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea, and manufacturing bases in China, Japan, and South Korea — ranking among the top three global manufacturers of linear motion modules.
Building on over a decade of expertise in linear motion design and production, TOYO is also developing a new linear motion actuator (“the muscle”) for humanoid robot arms and legs — aiming to play a vital role in the rapidly growing humanoid robotics industry.
