Flexiv Makes Its South Korean Debut at Smart Tech Korea
Partnering with Minzh Motor, Flexiv's inaugural South Korean exhibition marks its strategic expansion into one of the world's most competitive robotics markets.
SANTA CLARA, CA – June 4, 2026 – Flexiv, a global leader in general-purpose robotics, is pleased to announce its entry into the South Korean automation market with its attendance at the Smart Tech Korea (STK) exhibition. This milestone underscores a major strategic initiative to introduce next-generation adaptive robots into one of the most technologically sophisticated and automation-dense manufacturing markets in the world.
To support rapid market integration, Flexiv has formed a strategic partnership with Minzh Motor, a manufacturer of high-performance electric motors with strong regional engineering capabilities.
Serving as Flexiv's channel partner, Minzh Motor will leverage its local presence to play a critical role in navigating the competitive robotics landscape. By pairing Flexiv's industry-leading adaptive robots with the robust hardware and deep engineering expertise of Minzh Motor, the partnership is set to deliver an automation ecosystem tailored specifically to South Korean industrial standards.
Visitors to the STK exhibition can experience the advanced capabilities of Flexiv's adaptive robots firsthand at booth C510. Merging artificial intelligence with precise force control to execute intricate physical tasks, Flexiv's interactive demonstrations highlight a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Featuring five interactive demonstrations, the Flexiv/Minzh Motor booth will include a ball-balancing display showcasing how the Rizon 4 adaptive robot can instantly respond to unexpected jolts. Additionally, a car bodywork polishing demonstration illustrates how tasks like polishing, sanding, and deburring can be automated without costly force-sensing end-of-arm tooling.
Driving the universal capability of adaptive robots home is the Mello massage station. This exhibit again uses the Rizon 4 adaptive robot to provide a fully customized, force-controlled massage, allowing visitors to feel how gently and responsively adaptive robots interact with humans.
"South Korea features a mature robotics industry, positioning it as the perfect market for our next‑generation adaptive technology," said Jason Chen, Flexiv’s Vice President of Industrial Automation. "Through the fusion of force control and AI, we are overcoming automation limitations and automating highly dexterous tasks previously reliant on human labor. We are delighted to partner with Minzh Motor to bring such cutting‑edge capabilities to Korea’s manufacturing industry."
This shared vision of breaking traditional automation barriers is what drove the strategic alignment between the two companies.
"We are thrilled to partner with Flexiv as they bring their world-class robotics solutions to South Korea," said Park Seong-hyeon, the CEO of Minzh Motor. "Clearly differentiating adaptive robots from general collaborative robots and strengthening domestic development infrastructure are important tasks. We will lay the groundwork for long-term growth by addressing challenges in the domestic market and enhancing our technical support system."
Flexiv and Minzh Motor are providing robotic solutions that are highly adaptable, intelligent, and ready for immediate deployment. Interested parties are invited to visit booth C510 at Smart Tech Korea for live demonstrations and discussions.
