Han Shin Power Tech will also be a stocking dealer of Adept products in Korea, reducing delivery times to customers, and has placed an initial stocking order of Adept Quattro s650 robots and Adept Cobra robots.

We're very excited to partner with Han Shin Power Tech and believe they have a solid combination of marketing, sales, engineering, and support capability to grow the installations throughout Korea," said John Dulchinos, president and chief operating officer for Adept Technology, Inc.
