International Partner Conference 2023 in Hattersheim

After a long break, the International Partner Conference finally took place again this year! From June 21 to 23, partners and colleagues from all over the world gathered at the new headquarters in Hattersheim, Germany.

At the start of the conference, all participants came together to exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere and to get in the mood for the following event. The event focused on topics such as the Yaskawa Organization Worldwide and Drives, Motion & Controls, about which Marcus Mead (President Yaskawa EMEA, President Robotics Division), Bruno Schnekenburger (Chairman Yaskawa Europe Holding, Senior Executive Officer Yaskawa Electric Corporation) and Bobbie Linkenbach (President Drives Motion Control Division) reported in detail. Equally exciting was the topic "Partner Program", presented by Armin Schlenk (Director Marketing and Business Development Europe).

In the afternoon, other relevant topics were on the agenda, such as Customer Care and Repair. In the following Q&A session, the participants exchanged their views in particular on the topic of "Everything to do with repairs". A company tour of our recently opened European headquarters and a live presentation of the robots in the Yaskawa Academy, including an impressive demo cell on "i³ Mechatronics", allowed everyone to discover Yaskawa in an interactive way. After the presentations on current inventories and marketing campaigns, the intensive working day ended with a dinner with salsa rhythms.

Finally, the last day of the conference was dedicated to our DMC products. The Value -Streams managers informed about new products and about the plans for the coming years.

The intensive exchange of information after such a long break was of great relevance for all participants, also and especially because we were able to get into direct contact - personally and directly. Sincere thanks go to all those who made this possible!

IPC 2023 was a great success for everyone!
