IAS Named Doosan Robotics Distributor of the Year in North America

Doosan Robotics Inc., one of the world’s leading service robot and cobot manufacturers, announced Industrial Automation Supply (IAS) of Portland, Maine, is the number one Doosan distributor in North America. IAS will continue to serve as partner and reseller of Doosan’s M, H, A, and E-SERIES cobots across the Northeast.

Portland, ME - Industrial Automation Supply (IAS) of Portland, ME is the top Doosan Robotics distributor in North America for 2024. An official Doosan Robotics distributor since 2021, and a Platinum Level distributor since 2023, IAS has taken the top spot for the collaborative robot (cobot) manufacturer, which was introduced to the North American market in 2019.

As a Platinum Level distributor, IAS’s distinction as Top Distributor goes further than just sales, as the company has partnered with New Hampshire’s Community College system as well as the University of Maine system to offer education and outreach about the integration of cobots into the manufacturing world, including cobots designed for welding, CNC tending and palletizing, as well as other applications which are becoming more and more prevalent in the OEM and CMO industries.

Doosan Robotics is currently in the top five robotics manufacturers in the world and the number one manufacturer in South Korea. With the industry’s largest and most diverse lineup of collaborative robots, Doosan Robotics serves a wide range of industries including manufacturing, packaging, logistics, food & beverage, and more.

In 2024, Doosan Robotics expanded its lineup with the launch of the P-SERIES, a next-generation line of collaborative robots designed specifically for palletizing and other high-payload applications. The P-SERIES combines powerful performance with safety, precision, and simplicity—making it the ideal solution for end-of-line automation and heavy-duty collaborative tasks.

"We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service to both our customers and vendors that we possibly can, and the fact it has translated to this honor is testament to our effort and commitment," said IAS President, Chris LeBel. "This is what every distributor strives for, and we are looking forward to continuing our success."

"Industrial Automation Supply has exemplified what it means to be a true partner,” said Hyunsoo Kim, Vice President of Sales at Doosan Robotics. “Their deep technical knowledge, unwavering customer commitment, and passion for innovation have helped drive the growth of Doosan Robotics across North America. We are proud to recognize IAS as our Distributor of the Year and look forward to achieving even greater milestones together.”
