What CHAVERIAT ROBOTIQUE does

CHAVERIAT ROBOTIQUE, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Moirans-en-Montagne, Jura, France, is the core operating subsidiary of GROUPE CHAVERIAT, a privately-held French industrial group. It designs, builds, and commercializes standard Cartesian robots (CH 7000 through CH 7004 series) and fully integrated automated cells for plastic injection molding presses ranging from 25 to 5,000 tonnes, as well as for machining centers and slotters. The proprietary SYNAPS touch-screen PLC control system, built on WindowsCE.NET, manages up to eight digital axes simultaneously and includes an offline programming simulator (SYNAPS Office Automation) that enables program development on desktop PCs before USB transfer to the robot. Supporting the robot platform are custom robot grippers, camera-based Vision Control Systems for zero-defect quality inspection, MARATHON conveyors, ROBOX protective enclosures, and special-purpose bespoke machines. A patented CH 7001 ERGOS model extends the standard line with a Z-axis that can access both sides of the X-beam, optimizing workspace in tight press environments.

The company sells globally through direct enterprise field sales staffed by technical-commercial engineers, reaching more than 20 countries across Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. End markets include automotive, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, office equipment, household appliances, industrial parts, and plastics processing — with documented claims of thousands of active 24/7 installations. Beyond CHAVERIAT ROBOTIQUE itself, GROUPE CHAVERIAT operates four additional wholly-owned subsidiaries: CHAVERIAT COMPOSANTS (industrial automation components and OMRON collaborative robots), JUREMBAL (corrugated cardboard packaging), EMBALLAGE CORNIER (eyewear packaging, acquired 2006), and IMPRIMERIE CAIRE (printing, integrated 2014). Revenue streams span hardware sales of standard and custom robots, one-time SYNAPS software licenses, professional training services (QUALIOPI-certified training center operational since 1992), 24-hour technical assistance and on-site support, and VIGIE-PARC preventive maintenance contracts. Pricing is quotation-based with no public rates disclosed.

The group is family-owned under a SARL legal form, with no external institutional investors identified. Customer relationships are characterized by long equipment lifecycles (7-10 years of uninterrupted operation claimed), high repeat-service economics, and a global technical-support infrastructure guaranteeing 24-hour on-site response and spare-parts delivery. Strategic positioning emphasizes reliability, ease of programming, offline simulation to reduce commissioning time by approximately two-thirds, and a complete payload range from sub-kilogram parts up to 125 kg.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• ENGEL Holding: Austrian manufacturer of injection-molding machines with integrated automation solutions; adjacent competitor as OEMs increasingly buy turnkey cells rather than separate robots.
• Universal Robots: Danish cobot pioneer and market leader; competes indirectly with CHAVERIAT as injection-molding customers shift from Cartesian to collaborative robots, and contextual competitor given CHAVERIAT's OMRON cobot distribution.
• KraussMaffei: German manufacturer of injection-molding machinery and automation systems — adjacent competitor as machine builders integrate proprietary automation rather than relying on specialists like CHAVERIAT.

Broad incumbents

• Yaskawa (Motoman): Global industrial robotics leader offering articulated, Delta, and SCARA robots for plastics and general manufacturing. A broader incumbent competitor than CHAVERIAT but overlaps in injection-molding cell applications.
• FANUC: Japanese global leader in industrial robots, CNCs, and robomachines; competes with CHAVERIAT in factory automation including plastic-injection molding cells at large manufacturers.
• ABB Robotics: Global leader in industrial robots and automation including for plastics processing and automotive — a broad incumbent that CHAVERIAT competes against in larger enterprise injection-molding deployments.
• KUKA: German-headquartered global manufacturer of industrial robots and automation systems used across automotive, plastics, and consumer goods — a broad incumbent that competes with CHAVERIAT for large European cell contracts.

Direct peers

• Wittmann Group: Austria-based global specialist in robots and automation for injection molding, including Cartesian, sprue pickers, and integrated cells — closely comparable product range, customer base, and go-to-market as CHAVERIAT.
• Stäubli Robotics: Swiss manufacturer of industrial robots including SCARA and 6-axis models widely used in plastics and manufacturing automation; competes with CHAVERIAT for injection-molding cell contracts across European industrial customers.
• Sepro Robotique: French-headquartered supplier of Cartesian and 6-axis robots specifically designed for plastic injection molding machines — the most direct head-to-head competitor to CHAVERIAT ROBOTIQUE in the plastics automation niche.
