KUKA AG is an international group with revenue of some EUR 2.1 billion and approximately 12,000 employees around the world. As one of the leading global providers of intelligent automation solutions, KUKA provides its customers with a one-stop service for everything from components - the robots - to cells to fully automated systems. KUKA also offers modular manufacturing solutions for the industry of the future.

"The networked production summarized under the term 'Industry 4.0' is an ideal area of application for our Voltabox technology," says Klaus Dieter Frers, founder and Chief Executive Officer of paragon AG, "which is why we are so excited to have KUKA on board as another partner. The Voltabox technology enables the efficient, stable and long-term use of KUKA's AGVs." Further information is available at www.paragon.ag/en/investors.
