Positioning

Hanwha Robotics Co., Ltd. is a Seongnam-based cobot and AGV/AMR maker spun off in Oct-2023 from Hanwha Corporation’s Momentum Division; it shipped Korea’s first cobots in 2017 under the HCR brand and still sells a 3–14 kg HCR lineup plus custom AGV/AMR and mobile-manipulator systems. Entity-level 2024 sales were KRW 8.58bn (~USD 6m) with a KRW 17.7bn operating loss; a KRW 30bn group rights issue was board-approved Jul-31-2025. Distinguishing points are TÜV SÜD Cleanroom Class 1 on HCR-14 (Jul-01-2025) and a 2025–26 high-payload/welding cadence (HCR-32 commercial launch targeted Q4-2026); the open question is whether Hanwha captive demand and MOUs convert into scale versus Doosan Robotics and HD Hyundai Robotics.
