ROBOTIQUE CONCEPT

What ROBOTIQUE CONCEPT does

ROBOTIQUE CONCEPT is a Lyon, France-based specialist in the secondary market for industrial robots, founded in 2005. The company refurbishes, resells, and maintains used robots and spare parts across ten major OEM platforms, including ABB, FANUC, KUKA, STÄUBLI, Universal Robots, DENSO, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Yamaha, and EFORT. It has returned more than 400 robots to service over its operating history and holds Certified KUKA Service Partner status since 2022, which authorizes warranty, spare parts, and authorized service work on the KUKA installed base.

The commercial offering is built around a catalog of 267+ SKUs of refurbished robots and replacement parts, supported by a 12-month warranty on robot units and worldwide shipping from the Lyon base. Revenue mechanics are quote-based and transactional: each robot or parts sale is priced individually rather than sold on subscription or recurring service contracts. The firm operates with a lean headcount of 5 employees and is privately held with no disclosed external funding, suggesting a self-funded, capital-light reseller model.

The customer base spans SMB integrators and industrial buyers seeking lower-cost automation through to enterprises disposing of or sourcing second-life robotic cells. The business model monetizes the price gap between new OEM equipment and refurbished units, supplemented by authorized service revenue unlocked through OEM partnerships. Geographic reach is achieved digitally rather than through a field-sales network, with the website and catalog serving as the primary customer-acquisition channel.

Broad incumbents

• Surplex: European online marketplace for used industrial machinery and equipment, including robots and automation assets. Comparable in the used industrial equipment resale motion but operating as a broader auction platform rather than a refurbishment specialist.
• ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation: Global industrial robot OEM and one of the largest primary suppliers feeding Robotique Concept's used inventory. Not a direct competitor on used robots but offers certified refurbishment programs that compete for the same customer budget.
• KUKA AG: German industrial robot OEM whose French service partner roster includes Robotique Concept. KUKA's own certified service network and used-equipment programs overlap with the company's resale and maintenance offering.
• FANUC Europe: Industrial robot OEM whose installed base Robotique Concept services and resells. FANUC's own authorized service partner network and used equipment channels compete for the same secondary market.
• RobotShop: Large North American/European robotics retailer offering new and used robots, parts, and components across consumer, professional, and industrial segments. Broader and more diversified than Robotique Concept, but shares the model of reselling robots and parts online.

Direct peers

• Eurobots: Spanish-based used and refurbished industrial robot dealer covering ABB, KUKA, FANUC, and others. Direct competitor to Robotique Concept with comparable product breadth, multi-brand catalog, and spare parts inventory in the European market.
• UsedRobots.com (Automated Cells & Equipment): US-based used industrial robot reseller specializing in ABB, FANUC, KUKA, and Motoman robots with spare parts and reconditioning services. Directly comparable business model focused on used robotics and lifecycle services.
• CNC Design: French-based reseller of used industrial robots and spare parts serving European manufacturers. Local-market direct competitor with overlapping product catalog and customer base.
• Robots Done Right: US-based used industrial robot dealer and refurbishment specialist offering ABB, FANUC, KUKA, and other brands, with parts and service support. Closest North American counterpart to Robotique Concept's resale-plus-maintenance model.

Regional players

• Industrial Graphics & Repair (IGRI): US-based industrial robot repair and refurbishment service provider for ABB, FANUC, KUKA, and other major brands. Comparable in the maintenance and refurbishment service layer though focused on US geography.
