Humans, robots, cobots!

At first glance, sailing and modern sheet metal processing have little in common. And yet there are parallels: In both fields, the speed is at the very limits of what is technically possible, and the crews rely on real-time information. Bystronic’s networked manufacturing management solution enables even small sheet metal processing companies to compete at the forefront of the competition for orders.

May 3, 2021 is a historic day for both Bystronic and all our employees, customers, partners, shareholders, and investors. Because today, for the first time, the shares of Bystronic AG will be traded under the “BYS” ticker symbol on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

Bystronic is expanding its digital expertise with the acquisition of the Spanish software specialist Kurago and thus strengthening its service portfolio with additional innovative solutions.

Proform Laser, situated on the Wirral, started out in business as a laser cutting subcontractor in 2016 when they purchased a laser cutting system and a press brake from Bystronic. With a successful and growing business, the company was confident to buy two more laser cutting machines, the most recent being installed in January. As a fully functioning laser job shop, certified for Aerospace to AS9100, Proform was also working on automotive parts for JLR and other industries at the time of the first coronavirus lockdown in March 2020.

It's the small parts that make the big picture work: The Polish equipment manufacturer Komfort specializes in components for agricultural machinery. The family-owned company supplies almost all internationally renowned manufacturers. Behind its success lies continuous modernization and holistic software networking based on BySoft from Bystronic.
