Positioning

maxon group is a Swiss maker of precision BLDC motors and integrated joint actuators (High Efficiency Joints for cobots, exoskeletons, and medical), with 2024 revenue of CHF 594.7M. Revenue declined for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024) as it pivots from components to integrated drive systems, invested in Synapticon in July 2025, and reached series production on logistics-shuttle projects. 2025 revenue and the robotics-specific split are not yet available.
