Universal Robots launches financial services leasing programme

Klaus Vestergaard, CFO at Universal Robots says: "We're levelling the playing field by enabling all manufacturers to immediately put cobots to work without an upfront capital investment. UR Financial Services offers end-users a fast, low-risk and financially friendly model to accelerate automation in their factories. The partnership makes it easy to upgrade existing cobots, add additional units or test cobots for the first time - and equips end-users to maximise productivity, quality and profitability, without increasing costs or cash outlay."

DLL offers UR's customers tailor made financing and leasing programs designed to meet the needs of the modern manufacturing business, while enabling growth. As business needs change, customers will have the option to schedule payments to fit fluctuations in cash flow, upgrade to new equipment, or add cobots anytime during the contract term. At the end of the finance term, customers will have the option to buy the equipment for a fraction of the original cost, upgrade to newer technology, extend the finance term or simply return the equipment.

Neal Garnett, President of Construction, Transportation & Industrial (CT&I) Global Business Unit at DLL says: "We are delighted to establish a global partnership with Universal Robots. The market we operate in is evolving rapidly. Through this partnership we can now offer financial solutions for a wide variety of automation equipment. Cobots are transforming the industry and UR is clearly the market leader. Our tailored financial solutions give UR's end-users an easy way to reduce the risk of deploying cobots by shifting from ownership to flexible, usage-based financing. Manufacturers can build the operations they need to compete and thrive, while people work on strategic tasks."

UR's distributor network will work directly with DLL's dedicated finance experts in each country to provide new payment and leasing options for interested customers. Through the experts' specialised asset knowledge, flexible financing options and strategic marketing resources, they will support UR to execute the growth strategy. End users will continue to experience the benefits of working with UR, including its global reach, local support, service and maintenance, training offerings through its online UR Academy and global network of Authorised Training Centres, and UR's extensive UR+ Ecosystem.
