By establishing a manufacturing facility in a cost efficient and tariff stable country like Vietnam, the Company aims to improve production efficiency, enhance cost structure, shorten lead times, and support scalable commercial deployments of Kyro™️ across industrial, commercial, and public-sector applications.
Vietnam is recognized as a leading center for advanced manufacturing, offering a skilled workforce and a robust ecosystem for electronics manufacturing, robotics components, and precision assembly. Through AMCV Company Limited, AMC Robotics plans to collaborate closely with qualified local suppliers to support end-to-end manufacturing workflows, from component sourcing and sub-assembly to final system integration, testing, and validation of Kyro™️ units.
The establishment of the Vietnam subsidiary aligns with AMC Robotics’ long-term strategy to vertically integrate robotics hardware, AI software, and operational services, ensuring consistent production quality and reliable scalability as demand for Kyro™️ increases.
AMC Robotics will continue discussions with local manufacturing partners regarding production scope, capacity planning, and quality-assurance standards, and expects to provide further updates as Kyro™️ manufacturing operations in Vietnam progress.
