Product Engineering Services s.a. was established by a team of industrial automation engineers with a solid background in robotic automation and system integration. In the beginning, PES s.a. was mainly dedicated to providing consulting services for clients in the robotic and automation industries on a European basis. An exclusive distribution relationship was developed in the territories of Benelux and France with Applied Robotics, Inc. a US manufacturer and supplier of end of arm tooling solutions.
