ABIMAN ENGINEERING

What ABIMAN ENGINEERING does

ABIMAN Engineering Co., Ltd. (아비만엔지니어링 주식회사) is a South Korean manufacturer and systems integrator of automation solutions for the injection molding, downstream machining, and smart factory markets. Founded in its current form in July 2019 through the merger of YUDO-SUNS Co., Ltd. and YUDO-ROBOTICS Co., Ltd., the company operates from an enlarged manufacturing plant in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, supported by a dedicated R&D Center established in Pyeongchon in July 2021, and is led by CEO Steve Kang. The product portfolio spans three layers: hardware (take-out robots across the GIGIA II, FRANCIA, ART, SMUS, and ZEBA series; YUCON controllers; FOS mold temperature controllers; SOCUL chillers; RICH steam systems; CAD/HED dryers; HELA/HECA/EZS feeders; JAWS granulators; and EOAT accessories); machining automation (Gantry Loader, Side Loader, Multi-axes Robot, FMS, MPS, Shuttle System); and software and smart-factory systems (IMC/IMC.lite production monitoring, ACM cyber manufacturing simulation, WMS, ILC logistics control, ICC proactive maintenance, CSC 1.0/2.0/3.0 conveyors, and TAGON AGV/shuttle robots).

The company serves principally the automotive industry (high-precision injection molding for bumpers, in-panel airbag lines, scoring/trimming, IML) with secondary coverage of packaging and home appliance manufacturers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through a global network of 139 offices, including 2 manufacturing/sales subsidiaries, 13 Korean regional sales offices, 6 international subsidiaries in the USA, Mexico, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Poland, an India representative office, and 6 agency partners across the UK, Portugal, and Türkiye. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales and one-time software licensing for IMC/IMC.lite/ACM/WMS/ILC/ICC/PQM, supplemented by professional services for after-sales support, preventive maintenance, and ICC proactive maintenance contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Strategically, ABIMAN has been expanding from injection molding peripherals into collaborative robotics (ARC Series, 6-Axis Articulated Robot), battery manufacturing equipment (Secondary Battery EM Filter shown at INTERBATTERY 2024), and medical assistance robots through the XTEND partnership (December 2022). The firm holds Korean design awards (K Design, Good Design across multiple FRANCIA/SMUS/ZEMA products), the 23rd Gold Tower Order of Industrial Service Merit (May 2011), the 31st Commerce & Industry Grand Prix (July 2013), and the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award for Global Management Division (May 2023).
