Welcome to Robotics Research & Integration Inc. (RRI), your premier Canadian source for refurbished industrial robots. At RRI, we bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and decades of industry wisdom. Our company was established in September 2002 with a clear mission: to make high-performance refurbished industrial robots accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes.
Our leadership team brings over 45 years of hands-on experience in the robotics and automation sector, providing a level of expertise you won’t find anywhere else. We saw a need in the market for a trusted supplier of pre-owned robotics—one that doesn’t just sell equipment, but provides a complete, reliable solution. This unique combination allows us to deliver high-performance, trusted, and reliable refurbished robots that drive efficiency and growth for your business. We are your dedicated, single-source partner for precision in automated manufacturing.
Our History
Our experience with industrial robots dates back to 1980, working with hydraulic robots and the first electric robots that came to market. Originally from the automotive sector, our work began with ACMA Robotics, building CNC machines and industrial robots. ACMA was owned by RENAULT Automation SARL from France, and we worked on the assembly and integration of hydraulic robots, followed by the first electric robots in 1981.
In late 1985, Renault, which held a 40% share of American Motors Corporation (AMC), built the new Bramalea/Brampton facility. During that period, a company called DARE Inc. (Dahan Automated Robotic Equipment Inc.) was started, which was involved with projects at the new facility and at Karmax (Magna) in Milton, ON. Following the DOW Jones crash in October 1987, Renault sold its AMC shares to Chrysler in December 1987.
In May 1996, a new company, JCD International Robotics Inc., was started, focusing on the rebuild, resale, and integration of used ABB, FANUC, and MOTOMAN industrial robots. The company grew quickly and became well-known for providing professional quality machines and services in Canada and the USA. This expertise attracted investors, and the company was sold to Kensington Capital in November 2001.
Robotics Research & Integration Inc. was founded in September 2002 and became a supplier for General Motors, contracted to rebuild their Fanuc paint robots. We were involved with every GM facility in North America to rebuild over 800 P-155 paint robots. However, GM placed the project on hold in 2006/2007 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2008. When Chrysler also filed for Chapter 11, our business of selling robots and integration services to other automotive suppliers came to a halt.
Since 2010, Robotics Research & Integration Inc. has concentrated on the purchase and sale of refurbished robots, moving away from integration projects. This decision was made after approximately 80% of the automotive sector closed or moved operations to Mexico, China, India, and Brazil.
