Footwear technology developer Desma has paid tribute to automation specialist ABB. The two companies have now been partners for more than 40 years.

Desma said their joint story started in the 1980s when it began using robotics technology that ABB had adapted specially for shoe production. Soon after these beginnings, the two technology providers worked jointly on a successful project with adidas.

“In shoe factories, robots can take over tasks such as roughing, spraying release agents and applying adhesive with the highest precision,” Desma said. “This ensures product quality, reduces the consumption of materials and helps ensure workplace safety.”
