Hahn Group Expands U.S. Presence by Acquiring REI Automation, Strengthening Factory Automation Capabilities

German automation leader Hahn Group has broadened its U.S. footprint with the acquisition of REI Automation in Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 1990, REI Automation brings 80 skilled employees and $25 million in annual revenue, specializing in custom assembly lines, robotic cells, and bespoke machine systems for the medical, electronics, and consumer goods sectors. This strategic purchase establishes a robust hub in the Southeast, positioning Hahn to better serve regional industry demands.

Hahn’s latest initiative, Hahn Plastics Automation in Windsor, Connecticut, now coordinates U.S. operations for Waldorf Technik, Wemo, and Geku, further consolidating its manufacturing expertise.

In partnership with Rethink Robotics GmbH, Hahn continues to evolve the industry‑leading Sawyer one‑armed collaborative robot (cobot). At the K 2019 conference, the company unveiled the Sawyer Black Edition, featuring upgraded, durable hardware, quieter operation, and premium components. The new model supports a 4‑kg payload and is already in development for a future 10‑kg version. Existing Sawyer units benefit from an optional upgrade kit—comprising new seals and mechanical parts—available under warranty.
