Positioning

Igus is a German family-owned maker of motion plastics (energy chains, polymer bearings) used across virtually every robot and machine (~EUR 1.1B baseline revenue), plus its own low-cost ReBeL cobots and the rbtx robot marketplace that aggregates the ecosystem. It holds three distinct positions at once: component ubiquity, an own robot line, and a distribution channel for others (including Mech-Mind). Current segment splits are not detailed.
