Robohelix, founded in Australia and currently headquartered in Germany, is the developer of a patented technology for the automated manufacturing of helices for Archimedes screws. Its eight-axis robotic CNC machines accelerate the production process and reduce costs, errors, and the need for manual labor.

Juan Etxebarria, business development director at Fagor Arrasate, explained that this operation is part of the 2028 Strategic Plan. "It will allow us to increase our presence in new sectors. It will open doors for us to operate in areas such as agriculture, food, mining, chemicals, oil and gas, water treatment, or construction, meaning industries that are not correlated with the economic cycles of our traditional sectors – automotive, home appliances, or steel," he stated.

The goal of the collaboration between the two companies is to fully automate the manufacturing of Archimedes screws, from sheet metal cutting to the final product. Additionally, Fagor Arrasate will make its international sales and service network available to Robohelix to expand its market reach.

According to the company's forecasts, this new business line could lead to the creation of 60 skilled jobs and achieve a turnover of 30 million euros in the coming years.
