MAKATI CITY, Philippines - May 7, 2026 - PRLog -- igus, the world's leading supplier of motion plastics and innovative technical solutions, has announced the opening of its own branch in Australia—marking a significant step in strengthening its presence in this key and rapidly growing market.

This milestone has been achieved in collaboration with long-standing distribution partner Treotham Automation, reinforcing a 30-year partnership built on trust and shared expertise. The move will provide Australian businesses with faster access to igus products, cutting-edge automation solutions, and enhanced customer support.

Unlocking Opportunities Through Low Cost Automation

Australia's increasing demand for industrial automation presents substantial opportunities for igus solutions. To address this growth, igus is introducing its global Low Cost Automation (LCA) expertise, including the RBTX open robotics marketplace and its unique "test-before-invest" service. This approach allows customers to trial tailored automation solutions risk-free before committing to investment.

"Low Cost Automation is a game-changer, especially for small and medium-sized businesses looking to boost efficiency without breaking the bank," says Alexander Mühlens, Head of Low Cost Automation at igus.

Strong Partnership Driving Growth

The collaboration with Treotham Automation remains pivotal to igus' success in Australia. "Our partnership has been vital in establishing igus locally," says Ricardo Guerra, Country Manager of igus Australia. "By opening our own branch, we are strengthening our commitment to this important market and to being closer to our customers."

Enhanced Customer Experience and Local Availability

Alongside the new branch, igus is upgrading its Australian webshop to deliver a faster, simpler, and more reliable buying experience. Improvements include expanded inventory, optimised logistics for shorter delivery times, and direct access to products starting from lot size one.

Additional local payment options and flexible invoicing will further streamline purchasing. "Ensuring an exceptional user experience is central to our mission," adds Guerra. "These enhancements reflect our commitment to being the easiest company to deal with and helping customers remain competitive."

This expansion underscores igus' dedication to innovation, accessibility, and customer success in Australia.
