Woojin Plaimm (049800.KQ), a specialist in injection molding machines, is transforming into a smart automation platform company as it begins full-scale mass production of industrial robots.
The Korea Federation of SMEs announced Wednesday that Woojin Plaimm, a member of the Proud SME Leaders Association, has commenced mass production of its "WABOT (WOOJIN Automation Robot)" this month following the completion of its robot factory.
Woojin Plaimm manufactures and sells plastic injection molding machines.
The move represents a strategic expansion from its existing injection molding machine-focused business to an integrated manufacturing model combining robots and digital solutions, strengthening the foundation for mid-to-long-term growth. Injection molding machines are equipment that melts plastic, injects it into molds, and produces products in desired shapes. They are used to manufacture a wide range of products from automotive parts to cosmetic containers.
The company said the robot was jointly developed over approximately three years with an Austrian research institute.
The product lineup is based on a Cartesian structure and consists of gear-type (A Series), belt-type (C Series), and high-speed-type (T/D Series), designed to handle various injection molding process environments. The company plans to add articulated robot lineups within the year.
WABOT will be unveiled for the first time at the "IN-HOUSE 2026" exhibition held at the company's Technical Center at its headquarters in Boeun, North Chungcheong Province, from April 15 to 18. A total of six WABOT models will be exhibited, with demonstrations showcasing high-speed extraction, precision, and repeatability.
