From European Wineries to Global Production Lines: ESTUN CODROID Collaborative Robots Accelerate Overseas Expansion

At Metzger Winery in Asselheim, Germany, rows of wine bottles flow out of the bottling line in the bottling workshop. In the past, every bottling season, manual palletizing always gave the winery owner a headache: it was difficult to recruit workers during peak season, the labor intensity was high, and bottling days were often "chaotic." Now, collaborative robots stand beside workers, steadily stacking boxes of wine into pallets—these "new Chinese workers" come from ESTUN CODROID.

Uli Metzger, the person in charge of Metzger Winery, commented: "With CODROID, our bottling days have become much more relaxed and easier to plan."

01 CODROID's "Acceleration": From China to the World

The winery's choice also reflects the overall warming of the collaborative robot market. Data from MIR Industrial shows that in the first half of 2026, China's collaborative robot shipments reached 26,970 units, a year-on-year increase of 40.7%; in the second quarter alone, it surged by 45.1% year-on-year. Behind the high growth is the comprehensive penetration of scenarios: accelerated implementation in fields such as machine tool loading and unloading, welding, palletizing, and AI server assembly.

In this wave, CODROID firmly ranks in the TOP 10 of MIR Industrial's collaborative robot shipment brand share, becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in the domestic collaborative robot camp. In 2025, CODROID's collaborative robot shipments increased by more than 270% year-on-year; in the first quarter of 2026, shipments increased by more than 40% year-on-year again, and it has been applied at scale in 107 application scenarios and more than 370 factories. Relying on the parent company ESTUN's "Local for Global" strategy, CODROID has established localized teams and service networks in Europe—R&D centers in Germany and Italy, a manufacturing base in Poland, and 75 global service outlets—delivering full-category robot products worldwide.

As the industry moves from "trying something new" to "regular use," CODROID, which has taken the lead in completing full-stack self-development and product matrix layout, is transforming its first-mover advantage into scale advantage.

02 From Single-Arm to Full-Stack, Rooted in All Industries

On the product side, CODROID has formed a product matrix covering all industrial scenarios:

The S series single-arm collaborative robots cover loads from 3-35 kg. Graphical programming and drag-and-teach allow "zero-foundation" users to get started in 1 hour;

The H series heavy-load robots handle heavy-load operations with a 35 kg load and a 2100 mm ultra-long reach;

The M series mobile composite robots integrate AMR and robotic arms to achieve integrated "hands, feet, and eyes";

For high-frequency processes, CODROID has launched professional workstations: the Co-Palletizer 20 palletizing workstation can be rapidly deployed in 30 minutes out of the box, with no-code programming and a maximum of 12 boxes/minute; the welding solution has a built-in expert-level process package, with multi-layer multi-pass welding and arc tracking ensuring consistent weld quality.

From palletizing to welding, CODROID collaborative robots cover all industrial scenarios. From air tightness testing loading and unloading for automotive parts and high-voltage wire harness handling, to solenoid valve assembly and palletizing and boxing in the electronics industry; from new energy electrical cabinet grinding and battery cover riveting, to machine tool loading and unloading for metal processing and steel structure welding, and then to intelligent batching and feeding in the food and beverage industry... CODROID collaborative robots have penetrated 16 major industries and dozens of process scenarios, helping manufacturing enterprises improve quality and efficiency and alleviate labor pressure.

From European wineries to global factories, from palletizing and welding to assembly and grinding, CODROID is redefining the production frontline with "human-machine collaboration." ESTUN CODROID makes collaboration simpler and manufacturing more effortless.
