FANUC—an acronym for Fuji Automatic Numerical Control—was established in Japan in 1972, but its history began long before that when the first numerical control in Japan’s private sector was successfully developed in 1956. In 1982, FANUC brought its technology to the U.S. in the form of industrial robots. Since that time, we’ve never looked back – and today FANUC is the global leader in CNC systems, robotics, and ROBOMACHINEs with over 40 million products installed worldwide.

FANUC America Corporation is a subsidiary of FANUC CORPORATION in Japan, and provides industry-leading CNC systems, robotics and ROBOMACHINEs. FANUC’s innovative technologies and proven expertise help manufacturers in the Americas maximize productivity, reliability and profitability. Headquartered in Rochester Hills, Mich., FANUC America has facilities throughout North and South America.
