Transferring single-axis and Cartesian robot production to expand the model lineup and strengthen competitiveness.
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. announced the official August 2025 establishment of TY ROBOTICS Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, “TY”), a new joint venture company for industrial robot manufacturing with Taiwanese industrial equipment manufacturer TOYO Automation Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Tainan, Taiwan; hereinafter, “TOYO”). The founding of this new company is part of Yamaha Motor’s overall industrial robot business strategy. TY is based at Yamaha Motor’s Miyakoda office (Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture) and production is scheduled to begin in January 2026. Over the coming years, Yamaha Motor will gradually transfer production of its single-axis and Cartesian robots to TY.
TOYO is an industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in the manufacture and sale of single-axis actuators and other equipment. In recent years, the company has posted steady growth, driven by increasing global demand for semiconductors and smartphones, as well as rising needs for general automation and labor-saving solutions at factories. Yamaha Motor first invested in TOYO in March 2019, marking the beginning of a cooperative relationship that has included OEM supply of select industrial robot models, such as motorless single-axis actuators.
The establishment of this joint venture with TOYO represents part of Yamaha Motor’s strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of its robotics business. By transferring production of certain industrial robot models to the new company, Yamaha Motor aims to significantly shorten lead times from order to shipment while further expanding its product lineup.
