On August 29, 2026 local time, a historic milestone was reached in Šabac, a city in western Serbia. The humanoid robot factory jointly built by AgiBot and Minth Group officially kicked off mass production, making it Europe’s first large-scale humanoid robot production base. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić attended the launch, interacted with the first off-line humanoid robot, and described it as "an important step for Serbia toward the future".

It is reported that Phase I of the factory involves an investment of 20 million euros and covers an area of approximately 3,000 square meters. It mainly undertakes assembly, calibration of motion & vision systems and performance testing for humanoid robots and quadruped robots. According to the plan, a robot industrial park will be constructed in subsequent phases with a total investment of around 200 million euros. When fully operational, the maximum annual capacity is expected to reach 20,000 units, serving European and global markets.

[Industry Insight] The shift of humanoid robots from laboratories to mass production marks a new phase of global intelligent manufacturing. Robot mass production relies heavily on supporting supply chains for precision manufacturing. Every procedure, from structural component bonding and electronic potting to sensor packaging, imposes stricter requirements on the precision of material processing.

SIENOX Sinos, a professional equipment manufacturer with 20 years of experience in mixing and degassing, has observed that the rapid development of high-end intelligent manufacturing such as humanoid robots is driving surging demand for degassing treatment of precision materials including adhesives, resins and slurries in upstream industrial chains.

Planetary mixing degassing technology is required in multiple key procedures during the manufacturing of humanoid robots and industrial robots:

Structural Component Bonding: Epoxy structural adhesives and polyurethane adhesives used for assembling robot body parts require high-vacuum degassing to guarantee bonding strength and precision;

Electronic Potting: Epoxy potting compounds and silicone for joint actuators and sensor modules must have micro bubbles removed to secure electrical performance and heat dissipation;

Precision Coating: Uniformity of coating materials such as PCB conformal coating and thermal grease directly affects robot reliability and service life.

SIENOX Sinos planetary vacuum mixing degassers (Series MIX60/MIX90/MIX1000PLUS/MIX2000) cover full production scales from laboratory R&D to mass manufacturing, delivering professional degassing solutions for the robot industrial chain and broader precision manufacturing sectors. Featuring dual motion of revolution and rotation, the equipment achieves vacuum of -95KPa and completes mixing and degassing within 5 minutes, replacing the traditional static process that takes 4–8 hours.

"China’s smart manufacturing is evolving from product exports to technology and standard exports," said the person in charge of SIENOX Sinos. "As a specialized manufacturer in mixing and degassing, we will keep increasing R&D investment to supply more efficient and precise material processing solutions for global customers, helping China’s smart manufacturing industrial chain go global."
