Delfoi Robotics software covers almost all applications of industrial robotics. With this strategic acquisition Visual Components Group expands its product range to meet the demands of the growing automation industry with the world leading offline robot programming technology.
The acquisition is officially operational from 11th October 2022 and the staff of Delfoi Robotics business unit will become part of Visual Components Groups talented team of experts.

Secondly, our employees have completely new development opportunities as part of an international company. Due to our long cooperation, both parties know the business and the market domain in depth. An important factor is also that our values meet”, says Delfoi’s CEO Raimo Puro.
