In 1988 Valk Welding included the first Panasonic welding robot in its product range. This was the beginning of a very successful collaboration.
In the following years, both parties intensified the collaboration and it has become more of a partnership than a customer-supplier relationship. For example, Valk Welding helps in the development of the Panasonic robots, manipulators and software programs and contributes its knowledge and experience as a robot integrator for the developments of the Panasonic (welding) products.
‘The strong connection’ symbolizes perfectly the relationship with Panasonic. A strong connection where both partners reinforce each other, making growth and development possible.
